EMC News - It’s not the usual item on Smiths Falls’ council agenda, but the inability for municipalities to accept service club donations from lottery proceeds has hit close to home with the only remedy, it would seem, to come from a Criminal Code of Canada amendment. A little known rule that disallows service clubs from donating lottery revenue from bingos and Nevada tickets for municipal recreation facilities came to Mayor Dennis Staples’ attention in 2007 when the Smiths Falls Kinsmen attempted to build their Kinsmen Pavillion at Lower Reach Park. The club was told it couldn’t use its fundraised dollars because of how the money had been raised. “I was fascinated by that,” Staples said. “I wasn’t aware that that was a requirement.” It turns out many politicians at every level feel the same way. Last week the local mayor attended the annual Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference in Vancouver where he formally presented his request for FCM to move this issue forward by asking all member municipalities to pass resolutions on the issue. “My item is still with the

EMC News - A handful of passionate residents have begun to look into the fall of 2014 and their chances at a life in municipal politics. Those who have been there and are doing that urge first-time hopefuls to do their homework before filing their papers next year. Ron Stronski, town watchdog, has been sitting in his designated seat in the council chambers for over 50 years and has become a favourite contact for residents wanting some background on council life. Stronski says he has already been approached by a

number of people in preparation for the 2014 election and has one piece of advice for anyone wishing to enter municipal politics – start attending municipal meetings now. “See what council is all about,” he said. In the last three terms Stronski can recall only three candidates who sat in the audience of regular committee and council meetings six months before an election. Many tell him they catch the process of council on the local cable network, but Stronski and other past and current councillors counter it is at committee-of-thewhole meetings that items are

debated and the realities of what sitting councillors must consider become clear. “That’s where all the action is,” Stronski said. Coun. Shawn Pankow agrees, adding his introduction to municipal politics in 2010 included a steep learning curve upon realizing the workload, process and bureaucracy with which serving the Town of Smiths Falls comes. “Being a rookie councillor it’s hard to understand what the job entails until you’re involved,” Pankow said. He encourages prospective incoming councillors to be

proactive and seek answers to their questions on a topic by researching themselves and adding this to the information received by town staff. Political life was a steep learning curve for Coun. Chris Cummings as well, who says he wishes he had entered into the race earlier. The reality that council peers around the table came to their positions with their own list of priorities and action items to accomplish became very clear for Pankow early on in his municipal career and reinforced that each of the seven council members are parts of a whole.

FCM,” the mayor confirmed. The earliest the FCM Standing Committee on Municipal Finance and Intergovernmental Arrangements will discuss the request is September 2013, but Staples hopes the issue could be addressed earlier if possible. “That’s what I’m pushing for, advocating for and hoping for,” he said. The local mayor and Kinsmen Club worked for several years to receive their exemption from the existing law, but Staples continues to lobby for a change to the Criminal Code of Canada that makes it illegal for any government (except the province) to accept funds from lottery. The mayor feels the situation can’t continue in a time when federal and provincial governments are pulling back their funding and maintenance requirements continue to add pressure to municipal budgets. So far his efforts have fallen on deaf ears at the federal level. “I have failed to find a political champion at the federal level to take up this cause,” the mayor said. Questions remain to be answered including why this rule is enforced when communities with See FEDERAL page SF3

This is something former councillor Stirling Bennett came to understand during the course of his 15 years at the council table. And it’s a message he feels new councillors need to receive before their first day on the job. “No one person can accomplish a lot. You have to have the ability to work with the group of councillors,” Bennett said. He retired from municipal politics in 2006 and encourages council hopefuls to become familiar with what provincial legislation such as the Municipal Act can do. See ELECTION page SF4

EMC News – Insp. Gerry Salisbury isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon – but when he does, a plan is in place to find his replacement. And it will be civilians who will make the final decision on who will fill his shoes. “It is not going to be an OPP selection,â€? said OPP Chief Superintendant Gary Couture during a presentation to the Lanark County association of police services boards (PSB) quarterly meeting in the Mississippi Mills town council chambers on Wednesday, June 5. Couture stressed that while Salisbury has been on the job at the Perth headquarters for about 16 years, it is always good to be prepared, since the commander’s job is “probably the most personal piece in policing you‌the individual who will deliver the service to your community.â€? Calling it a “very detailed process,â€? he promised that “we will select a person who fits your needs.â€? Once Salisbury decides to retire, or is reassigned, “I, or Chris, (OPP Superintendant Chris Lungstrass) will come to Derek Love,â€? the chair of the county PSB, “and say, ‘We need to start the selection process. We will initiate the contact.â€? The individual boards will be contacted about the change, even Drummond/North Elmsley Township, which does not have a PSB. It has to be decided whether each board will select one member to represent it on the selection committee, or if a more generalized form of representation from all over the county will be used, but civilian PSB members will make up the majority of the selection committee regardless. “We want to make sure that you make the selection,â€? said Couture. “I leave it up to you,â€? he added as to how many representatives are sent, if each board sends one representative, or not. Whatever is decided though, “we will work with it. I can’t dictate a direction to you. But we will accommodate your decision.â€? But Couture did stress that a smaller committee might make a candidate feel more at ease. “It is difficult to tell a candidate to come and sit in front of 10 people,â€? said Couture. “It is challenging to sit and answer questions.â€?

candidate is shortlisted, they may be asked to provide a shortened resume. “We will talk with you,” said Couture. “We will come to a general consensus as to who you want. We have to come to a unanimous decision… (since) that is your local leader for the next several years.” “Gerry has been here for a long time,” said OPP Superintendant Chris Lungstrass. “But people come and people go…you are distinct in that you have had the same commander for such a long time. There will come a day when he move on for one reason or another. You need to get to who works best for you and works best with you.” Lungstrass said that every portion of the OPP service is unique. He has seen the growing pains experienced by the OPP in the Upper Ottawa Valley, where the Pembroke police service is being merged into the larger force. While the Perth Police Service was, essentially, merged with the county OPP here, “Perth wasn’t huge in terms of numbers,” so the transition was a bit smoother, said Lungstrass.

But in order to find the right person, Lungstrass stressed that he needed to hear from the PSB members. “If there is some burning issue that you want answered right out of the gate, let us know,” he said. Maureen Towaij of the Tay Valley Township PSB said that she favoured a smaller group meeting on the selection committee. She also expressed her concern that there may be candidates that were more “old style leaders,” who expound the philosophy that “do it my way, or else,” versus newer officers who are more collaborative, “a leader who is in touch with the younger work force,” she said. “They are very progressive,” said Couture of the OPP’s inspector and staff sergeant class. “They are not old school. The old school approach is long gone. Not to say that it does not still exist…(but) that will come

He was told just the week before that he is now the most senior detachment commander in the province. “I will commit to you that I will give a lot of lead time,” said Salisbury, before his replacement needs to be picked.

Relay for Life numbers down in Smiths Falls; up in Mississippi Mills By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News – The numbers are in – and they’re down significantly from last year, but overall, it was still a successful Relay for Life. The two events in Smiths Falls and Mississippi Mills raised a combined total of $195,000 after the two events on Friday, June 7. “We had two great events on Friday night with one more to go,� said Amanda Gifford, fundraising coordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Gifford said she didn’t have a goal

in mind for the new location for the Smiths Falls event, which left its old home in Lombardy this year for its new location at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. “We heard a lot of positive feedback about the new location. It’s more of a close-knit community type of atmosphere and they didn’t have to walk on a muddy track,� she said. Two of the 27 teams registered for the Smiths Falls event didn’t show due to weather or other commitments with family, Gifford said, but overall, she was happy with the response. “For a brand new venue, it went

well,� she said. Last year, this relay event raised $149,000 in Lombardy. In Almonte, 34 teams raised $117,000 this year, bettering last year’s total by $6,000. Lanark Leeds and Grenville will host the fourth event on Friday night at Row’s Corners in Brockville. St. John Catholic High School in Perth held a successful event late in May with more than $50,000 raised. “It’s never too late to make a donation to Relay for Life,� Gifford said. “People can donate anytime online.� Trackside In Smiths Falls, rain drizzled but

and big glasses. The parade of survivors circled the track to start the celebration and once around, other participants fell in behind on the second lap. “It’s something that we’ve been doing since 2001,â€? said Jan Holland of the Bay Buds team. “We said we were going to quit this year, but we decided to keep going because we were close to $50,000.â€? This year, their $5,800 brought the team from the Elgin/Seeley’s Bay area to $52,000. “We’re getting older now‌ it’s hard to keep the interest, but these guys have been awesome. Now we have survivors on the team.â€?

spirits were high as the track was lined with participants for the overnight, 12-hour event that kicked off at 7 p.m. Under the big tent in the Fight Back Zone, Norene Allan and Jan Hopkins, both long-time volunteers were kept busy and dry. “We have a silent auction here, information booths, and you can even get your picture taken,� said Allan, as she hopped up behind a cardboard cutout of a groovy couple and popped her face through one of the holes. Groovin’ for a Cure was the theme of this year’s event where participants dressed in their tie-dyed outfits – from tents to T-shirts – beads

Upper Canada School Board receives governance budget report EMC News – The Upper Canada District School Board’s (UCDSB) Committee of the Whole received the proposed governance budget report for 2013-14 last week. This budget provides funding for the honorarium and activities of the board’s trustees. This budget line also funds the professional development for the trustee liaison officer. Here are key points from the report:

the trustees in fulfillment of their legislative obligations; increase public confidence in public education; and ensure the resources are allocated responsibly. The proposed budget features a number of cost savings compared to the 2012-13 school term including: • 40 per cent reduction ($3,626.60) in meal costs for board meetings; • Over $20,000 saved in teleconference calls; and Trustees • $29,326 saved in webThe trustee’s budget for casting of board meetings. 2013-14 is forecast to be $424,517.

namely ‘courage’ and ‘generosity’. The board’s Committee of the Whole is recommending the Upper Canada District School Board add generosity and courage to our Character Always! traits. That recommendation will go to the June 19 board meeting. Parent messaging system update The board received an update on the information technology department’s project to introduce a more effective parent messaging system. The goal is to provide school staff with the ability to broadcast messages via email, SMS and voice to all parents or subsets of parents (school, family of school or class). As well, the system will allow: • Parents to update personal contact information and preferences through a self-service web interface; • Parent contact information to be synchronized between messaging system and authoritative data sources (e.g. PowerSchool – single authoritative source of student and parent information); and • The interface to form the foundation for all parentfacing, web-based services offered by the UCDSB now

and in the future (e.g. online registration, safe arrival, ecommerce, and other service requests). The plan is to have the news system fully operational by June 2014. Funding employee future benefits liability The board received a report tonight from the business department outlining that, for the board to be in the financial position to pay future benefits (retirement gratuities – $36.9 million, post-retirement benefits – $0.26 million, and Workplace Safety & Insurance – $2.3 million),

it would need to begin setting aside millions of dollars for many years, beginning with approximately $4.5 million in 2013-14. The report further identified that over the next nine years the board would need to accumulate $18 million for that purpose. As well, this money would be funds normally used to fund classroom activities. Changes introduced by the Ministry of Education regarding budget compliance have caused this issue for the board. Committee of the Whole recommended that the Upper Canada District School Board authorize the chair and

director to lobby forcefully to highlight the ability of the board to be compliant in the future retirement gratuity amortization schedule without detracting from funds for student needs. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

The tangible benefits of financial advice Manage Your Money

It seems obvious that the best way to achieve your financial and retirement goals is having access to sound financial advice grounded in a comprehensive financial plan. Among other things, financially advised households are twice as likely to save for retirement at all ages; have significantly higher levels of investable assets at all ages; improve their regular saving for retirement at all income levels; rate themselves as more financially knowledgeable; and are more comfortable making the financial decisions they need to make to plan for their future.* Recent research* on the financial situation of Canadians, our savings and investment behavior, and our attitudes toward retirement and savings advice has demonstrated the significant value of delivering financial advice to the public, at all income and asset levels: • Advice has a positive and significant impact on financial assets. • Advisors perform tasks vital in the financial lives of their clients including improved financial literacy, developing a culture of savings and investment, developing and executing a financial plan, selecting appropriate financial vehicles and products and improving investment decision-making. • Advice positively impacts retirement readiness.

• Canadians trust their advisors, feel positive toward them, and feel more confident they will have enough money to retire comfortably. A comprehensive financial plan should include investment planning, cash flow planning, education planning, estate planning, insurance planning, retirement planning, and income tax planning – and here’s the key – to be successful, your plan must be tailored to you. It makes sense to seek the advice of a financial advisor who will take you through this six-step planning process: 1. Goal setting – to define and prioritize your goals and concerns. 2. Data gathering – gathering all the pertinent financial information to understand your current financial situation. 3. Financial analysis – analysing the data to determine whether you are on track to achieve your financial life goals, and to identify alternative strategies to achieve those goals. This includes a review of how to reduce your taxes; whether you’ll have enough income to cover your retirement expenses; and strategies for protecting your family and income should you become disabled or die unexpectedly.

4. Plan formulation and recommendations – developing a written financial plan which contains recommendations and an action plan for achieving your financial goals and improving your overall financial life. 5. Plan implementation – taking action to implement the solutions that have been agreed upon. 6. Monitoring and plan review – financial planning is not a one time event. You should review your plan regularly, ideally at least annually or as major life events occur. These six straightforward steps are a great start on building your personal financial plan. Be sure you get the advice you need by talking to a financial advisor with the team, qualifications and tools you can count on. * IFIC Value of Advice Report 2012.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Students suffer from backwards Conservative priorities DEAR EDITOR: Why has the federal government reduced the number of student summer jobs it sponsors when the youth job market still has not recovered from the recession? Under the Conservative government, the number of student summer jobs has been cut by tens of thousands since 2006. Fewer students are getting help to create a summer job where they can earn their first work experience and money to pay for their education. This cut couldn’t have come at a worse time. Youth unemployment is double the national rate and there are 231,000 fewer youth jobs in Canada since the recession. It’s a tough economy these days for our young people. Bizarrely, instead of investing in our youth by creating student summer jobs, the Conservatives chose to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on trying to snow job Canadians with their shameless self-

promoting commercials. Every time one of these brutal Harper ads interrupts your NHL playoff game, know that the $95,000 cost of it could have paid for 32 student summer jobs! Or in other words, for everyone second these ads are on the air, another unemployed young Canadian could have had a job, but is going without. It’s a travesty. The government’s priorities seem to have been set in a bubble, completely walled off from the reality that Canadian families are facing. That’s not good enough. We should be doing more to help youth until their job market recovers, not less. Rodger Cuzner, MP Liberal Party of Canada Human Resources and Skills Development Critic

COMMENTARY Celebrating 40 years of mentorship

EMC Editorial – There are some organizations that continue to enrich and make positive contributions to the communities in which they serve, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is one of them. While Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada marks a milestone 100th anniversary in 2013, locally, BBBS of Lanark County is marking an incredible 40 years serving children through mentoring programs. Since its inception in 1973, the organization has been able to make positive changes in the lives of children and statistics show that those who have been Little Brothers or Little Sisters have gone on to graduate from high school at a rate of 20 per cent higher than the national average. Presently, BBBS of Lanark County serves more than 400 children throughout the county, and have helped them boost self-esteem and social skills through mentorship. In fact, 78 per cent of Little Brothers or Little Sisters that came from a social assistance background don’t need to rely on this form of income any longer. That’s proof of the strides BBBS of Lanark County is making. To help BBBS of Lanark County celebrate their 40th anniversary, consider providing photos for or purchasing a historical scrapbook, that will soon be available throughout the area. The book will chronicle the organization’s journey. Then on Sept. 14, join them as they host their Anniversary Dinner at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club and celebrate past, present and future successes. Congratulations on your 40th anniversary!

The arrival of an ice box was like Christmas time EMC Lifestyle – Until that fateful day in the middle of summer, Mother had no choice but to keep the perishables on a swinging shelf in the dugout under the house. It was a dank and frightening place, and could only be entered from the outside...there was no trap-door in the kitchen like Aunt Bertha had on the next farm. Two big doors tilted against the house, and they had to be lifted to gain entry. It was a place I hated with a passion, and Mother too never quite got used to putting butter and milk on the swinging shelf. Blocks of ice were put in big tubs down in the dugout in the hope that what Mother put down there would be kept chilled enough that we all wouldn’t die from food poisoning. Of course when the ice melted, the big tubs had to be hauled up and emptied a job for my big strapping brothers. But it was Grandfather who changed all that one day when he came out from Ottawa and ordered Father to hitch up the wagon and head into Renfrew. Of course, Grandfather had no intention of riding all the way into Renfrew sitting on a rickety seat on a wagon. He drove ahead in his rumble seat car and

told Father where to meet him. Everett went with Father to help. The purpose of his trip into town was to buy Mother a brand new Barnett ice box! “Uncivilized! That’s what it is!” he said time and again on his regular visits to the farm, and when one of us kids was sent down into the dug-out to bring up milk or butter, or anything else that Mother hoped would keep fresh long enough so that we could eat it. We always had had an ice house, and it was always full of blocks of ice, but never until that wonderful day, did we have an ice box to put the blocks in! Mother spent the entire morning trying to come up with a decent place to put the ice box in the kitchen. It had to be well away from the Findlay Oval, of course. And it couldn’t sit in the window looking out into the grape arbour... that’s where the old pine table sat and where we had our meals. Finally, without even knowing what it would look like, or what size it was, Mother decided it would go catty corner next to the little room off the kitchen that served as Mother and Father’s bedroom.

the entire corner. For reasons unknown to me at the time, Mother made all of us change from play clothes into our next-toSunday best…was it because we were getting an ice box? Or was it because Grandfather would be there for a visit? At any rate, we were spit-clean when Grandfather drove back into the yard, and said the new ice box would be here as soon as Father could get back from Renfrew. Mother in a clean Dan River dress and a fresh white apron, sat on the back stoop waiting for its arrival, and Audrey and I perched on the pump stoop. Grandfather brought out a kitchen chair to the yard. He wouldn’t sit on anything that wasn’t spotlessly clean in case he got a mark on his white flannel pants!

was like we were waiting for the Queen to arrive! And then we saw the wagon round the corner at the far end of the lane, and as it got closer we could see Everett standing with his arms wrapped around what liked like a casket standing on its end. Father pulled the wagon up close to the kitchen door. “My oh my,” Mother said, not even waiting until it was loaded off onto the ground, she leaned into the wagon and rubbed her hands all over the new ice box like it was made of gold! It took the three brothers and Father to lift it off the wagon, with Grandfather telling them to be careful and not scratch it. It was shiny wood, the colour of caramel candy, with silver handles, and I thought was grand enough that it could easily have sat in the parlour. Without even being told, Everett tore to the ice house, and using the big black iron tongs, hauled a block of ice into the house. It was beastly hot in the kitchen with the Findlay Oval pumping out heat, and I secretly wondered if the ice box would cool off the whole house.

in the block of ice. Audrey and I were sent down to the dugout for all the perishables, and Mother arranged it all in the ice box like she was laying out blocks for a quilt. Grandfather had thought of everything. While in Renfrew he bought an exact duplicate of our white granite dish pan, and he slid it under the ice box to catch the drip. We sat around the ice box on kitchen chairs, as if waiting for it to tell us something. It sure looked mighty nice in the corner, and I could tell Mother was as proud as if someone had bought her a new car! What a change the new ice box brought to our old log house. Now we had it as well as a telephone, thanks to Uncle Lou. Emerson wondered what we had to do to get running water, and I longed for the day we could just push up a switch and a light would go on just like at my little friend Joyce’s house. Sadly, water from a tap, and light from a bulb were not to be. Both would have to wait until the day we left the farm many years away.

No new native rights granted under draft land claim agreement: Potts By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Do eastern Ontario’s Algonquins have rights, or do they have privileges, under their land claim agreement in principle (AIP)? Well, if you’re Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier, you believe that the document gives the Algonquins special privileges. Picking up on a point made during the forum on the preliminary draft agreement in principle at the Perth Civitan Club hall on June 3, that the document would not grant the Algoquins new rights, Hillier said that “I think we need to speak honestly. Rights are things that are shared by all. If they are not shared by all, they are privileges.” However, if you are Bob Potts, principal negotiator and senior legal counsel for the Algonquins of Ontario, their rights are their rights. “The privileges you refer to are not privileges,” said Potts. “They are not privileges, they are rights,” enshrined by the Supreme Court of Canada. “They are what the existing law says,” added Potts, though he admitted that “we have unique relations with the government, but we are not separate.” Hillier, however, respectfully disagreed. “We are all in this together,” said Hillier. “We all have shared responsibilities.” “We’re not going to do it in isola-

“A lot of things in this AIP are solid…and moving in the right direction,” said Hillier, a long-time proponent of land rights. He applauded open forums, which give “a good, frank, and honest discussion (which) allows for better outcomes.” Citing constituent concerns, Hillier also asked Potts “will this agreement hold up? Will it be respected? Will it mitigate problems or will it exacerbate those problems? (I) fear that this will be an ongoing process…that will leave them (municipalities) holding the bag on enforcement.” Potts however was adamant that the AIP “will release government of any further obligations of land or money.” As for the strength of any final agreement to stand up in a court of law, “once it is in legislation,” since it must be passed by both the House of Commons, Queen’s Park, and an Algonquin referendum, “it is right up there with the constitution,” and cannot be arbitrarily changed even by a bill passed by parliament. Looking out at the municipal representatives from North Frontenac, Lanark Highlands Township, Tay Valley Township, and elsewhere, assembled before him, Potts pointed and said, “we will need to talk with you.” Before Hillier and Potts’ spirited but cordial debate, Potts assured the audience that the agreement, and the talking, was far from over. “We are not presuming to have the monopoly on knowledge,” said Potts.

“We do not have all of the answers. If you know how to build a better mouse trap, we’d love to hear it. If it doesn’t get resolved now, it will get resolved some day.â€? He said that not having an agreement would negatively affect everyone, not just the Algonquins. “It is an impediment to development,â€? said Potts. With an agreement in place, “that can’t help but aid the economy,â€? as one can witness with the development at the old Rockcliffe air base now proceeding as just one example, and there is Algonquin involvement in the new Lansdowne Park development in Ottawa, and along the Rideau Canal. “The Valley has had some economic challenges,â€? said Potts. As an added bonus, “through a treaty‌one of the most important aspects is reconciliation.â€?

The issue should have been dealt with centuries ago, and at the beginning, the Europeans did in fact accept the first Algonquin petition for redress in 1772 seriously. “It was received by the government of the day with great respect,� said Potts. “There were a series of (British) governors who wanted to participate in this process,� but by the time they were able to act, they were sent off back home to Great Britain, or elsewhere in the British Empire, a new governor would travel across the Atlantic Ocean, and the process would start all over again. “The Algonquins were in charge of this area for a long time,� said Potts, pointing out that they were even collecting tolls for people to sail up the Ottawa River in the 19th century. Potts stressed that this AIP was different than anything that came before it for many reasons.

“This is a preliminary draft,� he said. “It has never been done before. They (land claim agreements) have been simply agreements between partners and then put out to the public.� With this AIP however, public consultation across the province, as far away as Toronto and northern Ontario, is seeking feedback, “to put that feedback into the agreement where necessary.� In fact, members of the team will be going out to cottage country this summer to speak to cottage associations about the AIP. “Nobody, nobody will be displaced from their property,� said Potts. “Nobody is going to be expropriated.� The deal involves the gradual transfer, over a decade or so, of not less than 117,500 acres, and $300 million. The land transfer involves about 200 parcels of land. The money will be put into a tax free account, with an Algonquin corporation set up

which will determine where and when to invest the money. “Our objective is not to spend the principle,â€? said Potts. “It will not be raped and pillaged‌it will be for the benefit of the Algonquins.â€? While the process has been centuries in the making, this latest stretch began in 1991 and “people have asked me ‘Why haven’t we been consulted on this five years ago?’ We can’t negotiate in public. I don’t want that (process) reported in the press. I have negotiated thousands of agreements. I have never negotiated one through the press.â€? Even negotiating amongst people who mutually admire and respect each other can have its onerous phases, and he has not hesitated from telling one of his co-negotiators “in personal terms,â€? what he really thinks of their ideas. “There is no more complex negotiation in Canada than this

one,� he said. “We’re looking at a process that will take another 15 years to complete.� He added that he hoped that some manner of Algonquin referendum would be held by year’s end, and that while some non-natives might not be happy with the agreement, with some issues such as hunt camps

and snowmobile trails still to be discussed, Algonquins too are not entirely pleased with the deal. Walking away from the public announcement of the deal on Dec. 13, 2012, “we didn’t walk out giddily happy,� he said. “We’ve all lived here. We all live here now. We have to learn how to live together.�

Pick up your rain barrels in Westport this Saturday Church on Bedford St. near Concession (Westport). No household limits and no residency requirements are imposed... it’s an ideal time to order one for home but perhaps more importantly, one for the cottage too. Rain barrels effectively and safely reduce the amount of water running directly into your local watercourse or lake (or your storm sewer in the city); they encourage

infiltration of precipitation on your property; and they provide a ready, inexpensive source of excellent water for the garden all summer long. Each barrel comes fully equipped with a leaf and mosquito filter, an overflow adaptor (permitting multiple barrels to be connected in series), 1.2 metres of overflow hose and spigot that attaches directly to a garden hose.

Lyons Goodfellow

The price is $55 per barrel all inclusive to be paid in cash at time of pickup. Additional overflow hose can also be purchased if required.

Local children’s charity celebrates 40 years in Lanark County EMC News – Started in 1973, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County has spent the last 40 years serving children through a variety of mentoring programs. A celebratory dinner is being planned for Sept. 14 to celebrate the monumental occasion. The local children’s charity has had a real impact on children throughout the County. Children who have been in mentoring programs see real, positive change. Little Brothers and Little Sisters go on to graduate from high school at a rate of 20 per cent higher than the national average. Seventy-eight per cent of Littles who came from a social assistance background no longer rely on this form of income and a disproportionately high number of former Littles graduate from college or university compared to others in their age group. Currently, more than 400 children are involved in the agency’s programs. At a recent celebration, Little Brother Jason spoke about the impact his Big Brother has had on his life. “In the time Randy and I have been paired I’ve dramatically changed for the better in so many ways. For one, he’s definitely made me think about things more,� he said. “My self-esteem and social life have had a huge boost and I’ve learned so many life lessons from the experiences with Randy. I know now that there is much more to life that I thought there was before meeting him.� To celebrate this special anniversary the agency is planning an Anniver-

sary Dinner on Sept. 14 at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club. There will be special presentations, live music and a chance for the community to pause and celebrate the mentoring that has happened and continues to happen throughout the county. Tickets are $25 per person and must be purchased in advance through the office. Big Brothers Big Sisters is trying to reach out to those that have been involved in the agency’s great history and would welcome everyone to reconnect through this special event. Only 150 tickets are available and are on a first come first served basis. The agency is also creating a historical scrapbook, which is available for purchase for $25. Carole Marriner, a local Creative Memories consultant, created the memory book and put together an amazing selection of old and new photos for this book.

A summer picnic will be held with families and children supported by the agency. Press releases about Bigs and Littles have been submitted each month, showcasing the good work of the agency and the strong mentoring programs it runs. Big Brothers Big Sisters started in

613-283-0570, email jennifer.miller@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca or drop by the office at 18 William St. E. in Smiths Falls. More mentors are needed to help serve the dozens of children waiting for help. Please consider volunteering your time today.

Mica Days brings dinner, theatre with a difference of the early miners. End your trip at the miners’ bunkhouse to savour a fabulous hot dinner served by Cookie as you enjoy some traditional music by Cratur. This group hails from the heart of the Ottawa Valley and their talented musicianship covers a number of genres with the focus on their Celtic roots. The arrangements stick to traditional Irish, Scottish and Cape Breton fiddle instrumentals. They have been known to throw in a few Valley and Newfoundland tunes as well. Shows are scheduled for Wednesday, July 17, Wednesday, Aug. 14 and Saturday, Oct 12, which is Thanksgiving weekend. Start time in July and Aug. is 7 p.m. and for October the show starts at 6 p.m. As darkness descends, the bunkhouse will be lit

by the glow of traditional mica lanterns and our guests will use the lanterns to make their way back to the parking area at the end of the evening. “(We) just wanted to say what a great night we had,� said the Faubert family from Hudson, QC, who attended one of the dinner/ theatres last summer. “From Tobi and Alida to all the volunteers who gave their time, the delicious food, and to the band who supplied the entertainment, it really was a wonderful experience. We are so glad that we went.� Tickets are $75 per person (includes all taxes and gratuities) and advance purchase is required due to limited seating.

EMC Events – Heritage Mica Days at Murphys Point Provincial Park brings you dinner/theatre with a difference this summer. ‘Tunes, Tales and Rusty Relics’ is an original production, written specifically for this annual festival.

Follow Miss Whitfield, our favourite schoolteacher from 1909, and jack-of-all-trades Johnny Russell as they help a park interpreter unearth the artefacts of Murphys Point’s past. Farm, mine and sugar bush are brought to life through the stories of these rusty relics. Venture down into the Silver Queen Mine to understand the hardships

EMC News – Approximately 1,700 children in the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville will soon be opening envelopes with the latest Fun With Books, titled, ‘What Is it?’. Founder Bernie Boesveld (left) helped by author Jancy Watkins (right) and others packed all the envelopes for volunteers to deliver. Watkins was inspired to write this story about children, because her own two girls, Dana and Rylee, now older, so enjoyed receiving these books and listening to the stories while looking at the illustrations. This is Watkins first published book.

BIA Lambs Down Park Mississippi Watershed-based initiatives Festival in Carleton Place receive funding from RBC Foundation Association and other stakeholders to identify values, issues and impacts on Mississippi Lake and to develop goals and actions to protect its health,� said MVC watershed planner Alyson Symon. “By identifying and prioritizing stressed areas we can encourage private landowner and community stewardship activities and monitoring where it is most needed,� Symon added. The CSW funded project is a video series about the Mississippi River, its importance to our water supply, and how we all can help sustain its health. It is being produced in partnership with MVC, the CSW, Community Stewardship Council of Lanark County and Pinegrove Productions with support from the Ministry of Natural Resources. “CSW is excited to be a leader in this project combining our efforts to create a product that speaks to our efforts and resonates with our stakeholders and those beyond the watershed,� says Barbara King, CSW executive director. To put it all in perspective, a simple stewardship activity, tree planting, will be part of the recognition event. Five silver maples will be planted to help

“beef up� a shoreline vegetated buffer started by MVC with the help of Carleton Place High School students. MVC staff will be on hand with trees, tools and advice about native shoreline vegetation in our watershed. All are welcome to attend the event from 10 to 11 a.m. beside the Mississippi River at 400 Lake Avenue West in Carleton Place (beside the boat launch).

Dorothy went to reunite with her loving husband Edwin (Eddie) James McDougall (1969) on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 4:25 p.m., following a massive stroke, May 4, 2013. Dorothy’s family would like to thank our many relatives and friends for being so supportive in many ways at a very sad time. O’Dacre Funeral Home and staff fulfilled every wish we had in a very caring manner and also made the journey to heaven for our dear Mom/friend/Nan easier for her and her family. Reverend Grace Vaters, for your comforting words and spiritual guidance, we thank you. Nan would have been overjoyed to hear the “touching” eulogies given by MacKenzie Whan and Paul Morrow. Nothing in the world could put a sparkle in her eyes and smile on her face than her grandchildren, Kim, Paul and Stephanie, and also her great-grandchildren who were flower bearers, Mackenzie, Connor, Breanna, Jack and Cameron. Mom would have been ever so proud of the pallbearers she chose to carry her to eternal rest, Paul Morrow, Bill Young, Gordie, Lloyd and Keith Burke, Bill Cooper. Thanks also to Doctor Tweedie, for endless years (50+) caring for Mom. Mom/Nan will always be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing her or perhaps also was one of her euchre friends. We love you, Mom.

TAYLOR Shirley Elaine In loving memory of a dear wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who passed away June 15, 2011. I remember the day I met you. And the day God made you mine, I remember the day God took you, And will till the end of time. And when I’m sad and lonely, And everthing goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on.” Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again someday.” Lovelying Remembered Robert and family

IN MEMORIAM

Rodney Brown 1954 - 2012 You can shed tears that he is gone, or you can smile because he lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see he has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tommorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he’s gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what he’d want; smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Love All Your Family and Friends MacDONALD – In loving memory of our parents who passed away two years ago. Dad (Cliff) May 13, 2011 and Mom (Pearl) June 17, 2011. We may not have realized when we were younger What wonderful parents we had, But, now we can see all what you have done through the years And that you were a great Mom and Dad. You were always there to remind us that you loved us To comfort, to care, to guide and advise, You taught us to value the love of a family With long lasting, heartwarming ties. You set an example that couldn’t have been better And still is a great help today For the many times when we had to make a decision, We wonder what you would do or say. We miss you both so very much And now more than ever, we know That all along we had the best Mom and Dad And we all love you both so… Always on our minds; Forever in our hearts, Remembered with love xoxoxo Marg & Ron, and family, Lornie & Nancy and family, Floyd and family

GORDON, Rita – In loving memory of a dear Mother, Mother-in-Law, Nanny and Great Nan. June 18, 2001. Our Mother is always with us She’s the whisper of the leaves as we walk down the street She’s the smell of certain foods we remember, flowers we pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on our brow when we are not feeling well. She’s the breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls us to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Our mother lives inside our laughter. She’s the place we came from, our first home, and she’s the map we follow with every step we take. She’s our first love, our first friend, even our first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate us not time, not space, not even death.

Social involvement focus of Valedictorian, Red & White speaker speeches “Find people that will help you grow,” she said. McGrath did that first in Students Council and then as a band member and the high school musical group where she discovered her love for the stage and her future career path. In Grade 10 she was honoured to play a lead role in the high school musical production, which helped her step out of her comfort zone and into a completely different persona. “That was a really good experience,” McGrath said. In the fall this local girl will take her theatrical experience from the stage to behind the scenes as a student at the Toronto Film School. She hopes to find work in the editing of film and other areas of production. Fournier is keeping his focus on a promising future rather than the sadness of leaving friends this summer. He is currently training his efforts towards a career in law by entering into a four-year social sciences degree at the University of Toronto this fall. “I’m really excited about the opportunity,” he said. He is passionate about a future in law, but has decided to heed his teachers’ advice and keep an open mind

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC News - The four years of high school have gone by in a flash for Rob Fournier (valedictorian) and Carly McGrath (Red & White speaker) who credit much of their rich secondary school experience to activities that took place outside the classroom. McGrath entered her freshman year at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) with a mission of getting involved in a big way. So she ran for a position on Students Council and held it for three years. “If I hadn’t joined Students Council there’s a lot of things I wouldn’t have done,” McGrath said. Fournier agrees, adding sitting on Students Council since Grade 10 has allowed him to meet people who might be a little outside his own interests and discover new friendships. “It’s mainly the people that you meet,” Fournier said of what he will take with him to university. Both encourage next year’s Grade 9 student population to seek out club experiences that suit their interests and not to be afraid of where these experiences will lead them. In Fournier’s case, Students Council opened the door to work on a Belarus yearbook for orphans in another country. In his senior years he has reached out to help fellow students as a math tutor. “Every year it’s grown,” he said. Fournier encourages students to try hard and persevere through some of the challenging times of high school, while McGrath builds on this with her words of encouragement.

toward other possible career paths he might discover in post-secondary studies. Regardless of his final destination in the workforce, Fournier is clear on where he would like that job to be: “I’d like to be able to move back into a community like this,” he said. Both Fournier and McGrath learned of their graduation titles during the annual graduation dinner a few weeks ago and have been thinking about the upcoming speech that will be made at the end of the month. Fournier is hoping to tap into his peers’ knowledge to present a speech that reflects more than his four years as a RedHawk. Both are humbled to be selected by the student body as valedictorian and the Red & White speaker this year. McGrath congratulates the graduating class of 2013 for their efforts in developing the school spirit that is so strong at SFDCI. “I’ve seen it definitely grow in the four years I’ve been here,” she added. “We’re really thankful that we have kids who do cheer.” Those same students will be cheering for both Fournier and McGrath June 27 when they present their speeches to their peers, staff and families at graduation.

Rob Fournier’s (left) impressive academics and extra-curricular experiences have earned him the honour of being this year’s valedictorian. Joining him in delivering a speech June 27 will be Red & White Speaker, Carly McGrath (right). Both have been active in Students Council and various clubs throughout their high school years.

June 15 old-fashioned dog wash to benefit area rescues By STAFF

EMC Events - Mel Young is having a dog wash. It’s not just any kind of dog wash… but an old fashioned lakeside dogwash this Saturday in Rideau Ferry.

EMC News - As is customary annually at St. John, the world of AirBounce Amusements came to the school in the form of several giant inflatable games and obstacle courses from AirBounce’s healthy selection. The high school Student Council had previously helped that day with the equally large project of setting up the attractions, and by around midmorning, the first classes were called down to experience the fun for themselves. This year, the attractions had to be squeezed into the gym due to storm warnings, and this gave everybody a lot less space than the regular outdoor field. However, they managed to miraculously fit everything in anyway. Throughout the day, all the students in the school were called down by grade to the gym for an hour at a time, and the entire experience, despite its unusual lack of space, was quite enjoyable overall. The Intermediate division held this year’s track and field meet recently, which took place for a full school day and consisted of 1,500, 800, 400, 200, and 100 meter races, ball throw, long jump, triple jump, high jump, standing long jump, and shot put. The weather on the day of the meet was rather rainy and cold. However, a movie-viewing session at the end of the day was an enjoyable way to close the event.

“You really march to the beat of the provincial government. That was a big learning curve,� Bennett said. Stronski agrees, saying the provincial government is ever present

at the municipal level thanks to the growing importance of things such as infrastructure funding. The demands on councillors have changed substantially in a system that favours openness and public participation in everything from

committees to the budget process. In addition to attending the weekly council or committee meetings, councillors are expected to sit on at least two sub-committees that meet once a month in addition to fielding community questions at all hours over the phone, on the street or via email. Indeed, there are a lot of expectations on councillors today. “I think councillors need to be very visible in the community,� Bennett

Whoever will take their seats around the horseshoe in November 2014 will receive orientation training, but that’s just the beginning of the education. One thing Stronski knows for sure, he will be comfortably seated in his plaqued seat behind the

Cogeco television cameras having not run in the upcoming election. “I have the best job in the world at council sitting in my corner,� he added. “There’s a lot of good candidates that would really fill the ticket if they decide to run.� He has some hopes for the new council of 2014-2018, including a desire to see the town and other communities find greater harmony in working together.

Blood signal warning means give now to save life

Rideau advocacy campaign comes full circle June 22 EMC Events - The Rideau Roundtable in collaboration with Hotel Kenney would like to invite the general public to an upcoming presentation “Canadian Wildlife Federation Capital to Capitol”. The presentation is from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday June 22 at the Historic Hotel Kenney, on the Rideau Canal, 59 Kenneys Road, Jones Falls, Elgin, (613359-5500 or 866-KENNEYS), http://www.hotelkenney.com. In September and October 2012, a group of people paddled in a voyageur canoe 1,800 km from Ottawa to Washington D.C. to advocate for clean and healthy river systems. Twenty-five canoeists participated, five of whom made the whole journey. Along the way there were many adventures. At this meeting you are invited to learn more about the trip, its very important purpose, what we learned, and meet many of the participants. Joining us to speak that night will be Max Finklestein - a well-known, tireless advocate of rivers, wild places, and historical water routes. . His life-long travels have taken him by paddle across continents and into the remaining wilderness areas of the globe. The author of “Canoeing a Continent” and the co-author of “ Paddling the Boreal Forest – Rediscovering A.P. Low”, two acclaimed books, he is the recently retired communications officer of Canadian Heritage Rivers System. Max’s son Isaac, aged 14, who participated in the voyage, will present his views on the trip. Isaac is a competitive paddle with the Rideau Canoe Club in Ottawa. The event is free of charge to attend, though donations are gladly accepted to support the work of Rideau Roundtable. Upcoming Rideau Roundtable Sponsored Events: 1) Algae Workshop July 13, 2013 at Hotel Kenney. 2) The Rideau Corridor Futures Forum, planned for November 27, 2013. Additional information will follow.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO - JUNE 17, 1913

The annual 12th, garden party of St. Francis de Sales’ church will be held on Thursday and Friday evening 19th, 20th. A man may mortgage his house to buy an auto, but he can’t mortgage his auto to buy a home. The worst thing about a buzz wagon is that when you have to run it half a mile, it ceases to be a marketable commodity. There is nothing on the earth or in the waters under the earth that loses its value as fast as an automobile. 50 YEARS AGO - JUNE 20, 1963 Trade unionists, who have been picketing the Federal Building project at Smiths Falls since Monday morning, are, in fact, striking against the wrong company. This is the opinion of R.G, Holland, secretary-treasurer of the AbleConstruction Company, general contractors and Dave Willoughby of Unicrete Construction Ltd., general sub-contractors. For the second Saturday in succession, Smiths Falls is expected to be the focal point for many hundreds of visitors from the Ottawa Valley district. Last weekend it was the Hershey opening celebrations and this Saturday will mark the Second Annual Music Revue, sponsored by the OYB Lampliters Drum Corp.

The bell has rung for this gal to exit

Good things are expected Tuesday, July 5 as three federal ministers come to town to shed light on the future of the Rideau Canal Museum. Lanark-Renfrew-Carleton MP and Associate Minister Paul Dick, Communications Minister Flora MacDonald and Citizenship and Cultural Minister Lily Munroe are scheduled to be in Smiths Falls at the Woods Mill Complex at 4 p.m. It is hoped the ministers are bringing good news about a $2 million federal provincial grant which had been requested by the Rideau Canal Museum Committee.

EMC Editorial - Just like local students in town I am hitting the road this month for a much needed change of scenery. Nope, it’s not to the beach or the drive-in (although I plan to hit both at some point). I am leaving this week to prepare for the birth of my second child. When my husband and I found out we were expecting our second child I loved the idea of being off in June. I haven’t enjoyed a summer vacation for 11 years, but I doubt I will burn my notebooks as I did to celebrate the end of exams in years past. My plans are a little tamer these days and include cleaning up the kids room, making sure everything is ready for the hospital bag and spending quality time with my daughter in the days leading up to and after the birth of her new sister or brother. If you’re reading this and wondering if I’m being coy on the gender, I’m not. I have decided to drive my mother crazy and not find out if the wee angel inside me is a boy or a girl. This is our last child so why not, right? Besides, I have to admit, driving my mom crazy is a quirky bonus. During the course of my pregnancy I’ve noticed a lot of differences from my first; some for the better and a lot I chalk up to the lack of nerves the second time around. There’s much less planning and preparing

10 YEARS AGO - JUNE 20, 2003 The warmer weather is here, a time for getting active and enjoying the outdoors. It’s now also a time to be ready for West Nile virus (WNv). Here are some tips from experts on how you can enjoy the spring and summer seasons while you avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Calling all bakers, chefs and chocoholics! The Hershey Chocolate Shoppe is sponsoring the second annual Chocolate Creations contest. Sharpen your skills and create a chocolate delicacy, cookies, cake, fudge, pie or squares. Your imagination is the limit!\ Not one, but two lucky sisters from Athens have won a second place and an honourable mention in a Canada wide artistic contest. Compiled by Page Taylor

STACEY ROY For the Record involved for the second baby and the analysis of every kick and twinge of pain isn’t nearly as severe. This has left me with lots of time to really enjoy the last few months as a family of three and emotionally gear myself up for everything I look forward to this coming year. I wonder how many parents out there are like me and have 20 minutes of footage of their children playing with their toes. It’s so cute and something I am already charging the camera battery for this time around. There is a lot to look forward to including baby classes with similar moms like me, my regular photo shoots (must make sure this baby has as many pictures as my daughter) and seeing the relationship between my wee girl and her sibling develop. This last point is the entire reason for our having a second child (no, ladies, I am not one of those wonderful women who actually enjoys the ordeal of pregnancy) and something I am the most eager and nervous about overall. What will the relationship be

with almost four years difference? Will my daughter embrace her sibling or attempt to mail the wee one back from whence (s)he came? Time will tell, but I do know this time around I will have the comfort of knowing my family is complete and the precious time to see this relationship develop over the next 12 months. Maternity leave is a great opportunity for mothers in this day and age (respect to mothers of yesterday who only had three months off). However, there are some things I will miss not being in the newsroom. I’ll certainly miss the interaction with so many people in town and the ability to know what is happening as it happens. I remember the first week I was off for my daughter I saw a red carpet outside of Town Hall and spent six miserable hours wondering what was going on before I cracked and emailed my co-workers for the scoop. It turned out the sister city agreement with our friends from China had been signed and I missed it. Though it will gall me to have to wait until Thursday for my weekly news fix, I know the time will fly all too fast and I will be back in this chair shortly. Until then please call news editor Laurie Weir at 613-267-1100 ext. 246. I hope to see everyone at upcoming community events. Have a great 2013 Smiths Falls.

SINKING IN DEBT?

May be cheaper for council to bring in the clowns

DEAR EDITOR: The shell game the township of Rideau Lakes refers to as a “circumstance” or “occurrence” is a pay system with no accountable or transparency to the public. As well as honorarium pay each member of council is eligible to claim for attendance at events known as a “circumstance” and can charge $50 for every three-plus hours with no minimum amount of hours, plus or just mileage. According to Bob Maddocks CAO in Rideau Lakes Township, “Each individual member of council is responsible to abide by this by-law and make their monthly claims according to its regulations. Individual claims are submitted to him for processing, where the totals are only verified and then forwarded to the treasurer for payment.” I’m hoping that for the $120,000 plus (Sunshine List) we pay the CAO we are getting more than the addition checked. The management of RL makes sure that all the constituents abide by our bylaws, yet when it comes to council, the CAO must think they should be on the honour system and should not question if a payment is valid. I do not question whether people attend these events; I question if so many

are really necessary and if they are social events why we, as tax payers, should have to foot the bill. From the very small sampling of expense sheets that I paid to review (through Freedom of Information), these are some of the items that are being submitted for payment in some manner: volunteer and non-profit meetings, charitable events, carnivals, Remembrance and Canada Day events, dog sled races, UCDSB, RDHS, Razzle Dazzle, Red Brick School House, food banks, Delta Maple Syrup Festival, fly-in breakfasts, fairs, teas, Athens Snowmobile Club, Skate the Lake, scroll presentations, birthday parties and anniversaries. All of these not just in the ward they represent. I’m not sure what specific township business would be discussed at many of the above events, but if you as a tax payer are having an event please remember that any member who attends can charge us whether they are your ward representative or not. We paid our council/mayor over $100,000 more than their honorarium in 2012 in extras. Were many necessary? Yes, but I think council and manage-

ment need to be responsible and review the things that are not. I would encourage anyone who has an issue with the above pay system to express your opinion and please contact your representative and or myself at paula-joshua@hotmail.com or 613284-0238, I would love to get some feedback. This letter is not meant to attack the individuals who make these submissions; it is meant to change the bylaw.

Greg Pietersma, Chair

Many people who take part in area social/charitable events do so without being paid and do so to better their community. Unless we are going to have a zero tax increase (any) year I do not think we can afford this and in the case of birthday parties I think it might be cheaper for the rest of us if you hire a clown.

Montague gets ready to ramble

EMC Events - Now in its eighth year, the Montague Rural Ramble is once again set to take the stage on Saturday, July 13 at the Montague Township municipal complex on Roger Stevens Drive, just outside Smiths Falls. Initially started by the Montague Volunteer Fire Department as a small community event to raise money in support of Muscular Dystrophy Canada, the Ramble has grown to include a demolition derby, charity barbecue, refreshment garden and an evening concert by local music legends, Ambush. Ramble co-ordinator and founder, Montague fire fighter Craig Barr, said that “this event provides our mostly rural community a rare chance to join together in one location, have a great time and support a worthy charity” and expects another supportive crowd this year. Tickets to the Montague Rural Ramble are only $15 in advance or $20 at the door and includes admission to all attractions. Tickets are available at the door or in advance from any Montague Firefighter, at the Montague Township Office or by contacting Craig directly at cdbarr@ripnet.com.

Woman to put face to mental health in upcoming awareness walk By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC News - For more than 30 years Lynn Sedgwick quietly battled mental illness. That was until a series of life events forced her to quit her job and focus on getting “crazy” healthy. This month the Williamstown resident will take her story to the streets of eastern Ontario in hopes of encouraging others to get the help they need. Lynn’s Walk will begin June 26 from her hometown of Williamstown, Ont., and will stretch into more than 40 communities including Kemptville, Merrickville, Smiths Falls, Perth, Belleville, Kingston, Gananoque, Brockville and Prescott for a total of about 25 km a day. “It is very inspiring to know that she would come forward and really put a face to mental health,” said Joanne Ledoux-Moshonas, manager of mental health promotion at the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Cornwall office. “Her courage is really going to help others seek help.” Sedgwick certainly hopes so. She credits the programs at the CMHA and the efforts of her doctor and medication as having an incredible part to play in getting her to the place of independence and actively living with mental illness that she is today. “It’s very helpful to listen to other stories and open up,” Sedgwick added. “CMHA taught me to really cope with my own illness.” That’s why she hopes to raise $10,000 for the Cornwall chapter of CMHA. So far Lynn’s Walk has brought in almost $4,000, including $3,200 from a recent baseball tournament in Williamstown alone. “We have a spectacular community,” Sedgwick said. The eastern Ontario woman’s journey to living with mental illness began when she was about 12 years old. For many years she struggled with an undiagnosed condition until she was in her 30s and was told she had chronic panic disorder and depression. At the time her youngest of two sons was about two years old and she was working full-time as an early childhood educator. She started to work with doctors and take medication to address her condition but things started to get bad once again a little less than two years ago when her doctor instructed her to retire from education to focus on her health full-time.

At this point Sedgwick’s symptoms had become so severe that she began cutting herself. “I felt as though it was getting in the way of my life and I wanted the pain to stop,” she said. At first she felt like she was taking a step back in her treatment, but soon discovered the power in walking and the release it gave her. “I spent a lot of time walking and crying when I was walking. A lot of the pain was coming out,” she said. The pain of mental illness is not visible to most, but can be debilitating and daunting to the individual who must battle it every day. For Sedgwick the mornings were the worst time of day. At times she would have a panic attack while still asleep and wake up unable to breathe. These episodes eventually caused her to fear sleep. “There have been days for me where brushing my teeth I’d need a three hour nap,” she said. Sedgwick hopes her walk will not only encourage others to find the support they need, but also educate those unaffected by mental illness to better understand and be accepting of those who are. “It’s so important to reach out a hand. That in itself can bring you out; it could save a life,” she said. The funds Sedgwick is raising for CMHA will be used to provide prevention education to area high schools, which currently receive no government funding support. “Prevention is intervention,” LedouxMoshonas said. The emotional and physical toll mental health takes on a person can be significant. Sedgwick likens the dips into depression as equivalent to falling down a well. “It’s dark and it’s cold and you know you have a job ahead of you to get out of there,” she said. Many in the community have come forward to help Sedgwick and others

A number of provincial parks have offered overnight accommodations, 1000 Islands RV Centre is donating the use of an RV for the duration of the event and the Ambassador Hotel in Kingston has offered a night. In many ways Lynn’s Walk has been an education tool, including Sedgwick herself. “It’s just been an eye opener for me to see the support that’s out there,” she said.

Federal conference will spark discussion at town council sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC News - Raising the volume of young people’s voices in town, addressing heritage properties and the overall relationship between municipalities and their upper-tier counterparts will all be coming to a future Smiths Falls committee meeting for discussion. These items are just a sampling of information Mayor Dennis Staples and Coun. Chris Cummings brought home with them from last week’s Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference held in Vancouver. “My focus was on youth symposiums and engaging youth,� Cummings said. He says he looks forward to bringing back to the horseshoe a lot of information about how other Canadian municipalities engage youth through a youth council representative. This will be timely for Smiths Falls as Coun. Ken Graham re-introduced the topic at the committee table during the May 16 meeting. “What a fantastic way to engage youth,� Graham remarked last month. He met the Kenora student council rep at a recent meeting he attended and was struck by how well spoken the individual was. He went on to learn that the student doesn’t have voting powers at the council table but provides valuable insight into issues at the debate stage. The suggestion was initially brought forward during the May 2011 Youth Forum held in Smiths Falls. At that time the suggestion was to create a youth shadow cabinet for town council who would review all the same topics as council and provide their recommendations for council’s consideration at regular meetings. Since this time the concern has always been to ensure the youth involved are committed to the process and that enough of them would want to participate in such an exercise. The proposed discussion by Graham last month looked at adding a single youth representative on the existing council. Here, again Cummings said the issue is to ensure a wide range of youth perspective was captured in this position. Ultimately, Cummings said the position aims to build future community leaders and champions. Status of Canadian communities Just as council looks to see how they can change the way they reach out to the youth in Smiths Falls, FCM is proposing a significant change in how municipal governments and the federal government interact. A 2013 report entitled: The State of Canada’s Cities and Communities 2013: Opening a New Chapter calls for a re-invention of the federal-municipal relationship in respect to three key areas: 1: The federal government must clearly recognize the role of cities and communities in national prosperity, the challenges they face and the national interest in vibrant, competitive and safe

communities. 2: This recognition must be made in a tangible way through formal and transparent frameworks to assist the federal policy development and program interventions with a goal of creating clear accountabilities. 3: Most importantly, this federal framework must lead to a collaborative development of policies and programs that focus on those issues that remain unaddressed under outdated policies and jurisdictional obstacles. “It was a call to redrafting of the federal-municipal relationship,� the mayor added. “The relationship we have now is not a formal relationship.� This lengthy report, which can be found on the FCM website (www.fcm.ca) speaks to what Staples calls the overarching theme of the entire conference, which was for all levels of government to work more collaboratively. Officially, the theme was Strong Cities, Strong Communities, Strong Canada. FCM has a powerful voice in Canadian politics representing over 90 per cent of all Canadian municipalities from sea to sea. A number of federal political leaders made time to attend the conference including Tom Mulcair (NDP), Justin Trudeau (Liberal) and Elizabeth May (Green). Prime Minister Stephen Harper attended via video link.

Heritage The final key message Smiths Falls representatives brought home with them last week was a new approach to heritage designation of properties. “A lot of things have intrigued me. I think we can learn a lot,� remarked Cummings. He hopes to bring information to the Municipal Heritage Committee (MHC) shortly about how Vancouver addresses the issue of designating heritage properties. During a tour of heritage assets, Cummings learned the west coast province conducts a study to see if designation will result in a loss of property values. If so the owner is offered compensation for this. Cummings said in Ontario the reverse is often found with property values going up after designation. Another interesting point of discussion is the offer of tax breaks or other assistance to investors who are willing to bring a heritage building back to its former luster despite the likelihood of not realizing this investment back. In this case, British Columbia communities can offer a reduction in construction fees and other benefits such as allowing an additional floor on another project in the city to compensate for the lose of revenue. “It’s a progressive approach to dealing with certain challenges,� Cummings said. This and other information will come forward to the MHC with their recommendation coming to a future committee-of-the-whole meeting for discussion.

Genetic testing gives Smiths Falls resident peace of mind By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC News - Long-term health concerns and medication had Gina Brady of Smiths Falls feeling ill and at her wit’s end, until she grabbed hold of her health care and got the answers she was looking for through genetic testing. Brady made the call last winter to 23andMe Inc., a genetic testing company from California that has expanded its service to Canada. Her doctor had told her the bladder medication she had been taking for a dozen years would likely need to continue for many more years despite the side effects she was experiencing. “Every time I took it I was tired,” Brady said of her medication. Brady approached the American company on the recommendation of a friend and received the saliva collection kit at home shortly after. Once this kit is sent off a genetic profile is created and posted to 23andMe’s website where the client can find support in understanding the results. In Brady’s case it was only eight weeks later that an email came through with her results and all the questions she had been asking for years found answers. Among the binder of information she received, Brady learned she had an increased risk for ovarian cancer and celiac disease. The recent publicity generated by actress Angelina Jolie, who decided to have surgery due to her increased markers for cancer, is seen as a source of inspiration for Brady and an example of another person who wanted to be proactive in her health care.

Gina Brady of the Smiths Falls area has breathed a sigh of relief after having her genetic testing done. For Brady, it has given her the tools she needs to be proactive in her health care and find peace of mind. “Angelina Jolie kicked cancer’s butt. What she did was she said ‘let’s deal with it now,’” Brady said. It was with that mindset that Brady took on the other markers including that she was at an increased risk of heart attack if she continued to use caffeine and alcohol in any amount since her body is not able to break these two things down. Brady recalls the moment she had a chance to read through her individual

report online and the feeling of surprise and empowerment she had. She cautions anyone considering genetic testing to be sure they are emotionally ready for whatever results they are going to receive. “This is for people who want to make their lives better and be proactive. Your DNA is not going to lie to you,” Brady said. She credits her upbringing for giving her the mindframe needed to take

the genetic testing and be OK with the results. She comes from a family of nurses and has been brought up believing early detection and knowledge is critical in navigating one’s health care with one’s physician. “I’m so lucky,” Brady said of the support she’s receiving from her doctor. “He had all my history, but none of it made sense.” The local woman has been scheduled for a biopsy this July to deal with the

concerns around ovarian cancer. When it comes to her other health markers, Brady has taken a proactive approach and researched what she can do to avoid the condition or manage it before it comes diagnosable. Brady has elected to cut out caffeine and alcohol and go onto a gluten-free diet. “I wish I had found out 10 years ago,” Brady added. “It’s forcing me to do the stuff I’ve been meaning to do for years.” Once she began feeling better with increased energy Brady was able to kick up her physical activity and is now walking regularly to keep her fitness in check. Other results In addition to the health markers in your DNA, this unique duo strand of 23 paired chromosomes can provide parents with information on condition they may pass on to their children and medications they may have negative reactions to. Orphans or those searching for their family tree can also push a button to receive the name of their nearest relatives on the database. “It’s exciting to push the DNA relatives finder,” Brady said. She pressed it and discovered a distant relation to Warren Buffett. Brady doesn’t wish to sell anything to anyone, but hopes her personal story will start a conversation in local homes about whether DNA testing is right for them. There are many companies that provide these services, including 23andMe Inc. (www.23andme.com). Brady paid $158 CDN for the service. To find out more please go online.

Perth mayor urges hospital unions to ‘hold the line’ on wages By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Perth Mayor John Fenik has challenged area hospital unions to “hold the line� on wage increases, like teachers were forced to do under Bill 115, in order to “do their part� to keep the hospital in the black. “Will you be asking your unionized employees to hold the line on funding (wages)?� asked Fenik at the town’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, June 4, since “everybody has to do their part?� “I think your basic premise is wrong,� replied Dave Lundy, regional vice-president for OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union), who was also representing the Smiths Falls and Perth chapter of SOS (Save Our Services). “Austerity has now been proven to be a fraud,� he said, citing a University of Massachusetts study, adding that health care can be as sustainable as society chooses to make it. “I think it is fair for union bosses to come here, but there needs to be a greater vision,� said Fenik. “As a union boss, I wear that label proudly,� replied Lundy. “There is too much administration in our hospitals, and they make too much,� adding that, of the positions lost at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, none have been from administration. “The numbers given by the chief executive officer of the hospital (Linda Bisonette) is that there was one job lost,� said Coun. Judy Brown, who sits on the hospital board.

David Lundy, regional vice-president for OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union), who was also representing the Smiths Falls and Perth chapter of SOS (Save Our Services), speaks to the Town of Perth’s committee -of-the whole meeting on Tuesday, June 4, seeking support for a motion to call for the reversal of cuts, and restoration of lost services, at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. Photo by DESMOND DEVOY

Lundy and Fenik also sparred over Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs), which Lundy charged were created under former Premier Mike Harris “to prevent future health ministers from being directly accountable for cuts. They are undemocratic. They are all appointed.� However, Fenik pointed out that Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak wants to get rid of the LHINs should he form the next government,

and that Lundy may not like what plans he has in store for health care. Lundy had approached council about endorsing a motion – similar to one presented to Smiths Falls’ town council some weeks ago – to ask Ontario’s Health Minister, Deb Matthews to reverse the cuts made at the hospital, like the 12 beds which were closed, and restore services lost. “Do we, as a council, want to remain silent?� asked Lundy, though no

vote was held on the proposed motion that night. “Our hospital here is well worth saving, not just part of it. You can’t close part of it and still have a fully-functioning hospital.� He also charged that, even though the hospital has now overcome its deficit position, “this is only the first year of (an) expected five years of cuts across Ontario.� The loss of six beds in both Perth and Smiths Falls just underscored,

according to Lundy, that Ontario has fewer hospital beds, per capita, than Mexico, a developing nation, and that 18,500 hospital beds have already been lost across the province since the mid 1990s. He noted that the hospital was likely the largest single payroll provider in both towns. While only one job was actually lost in the recent cuts, some workers, like nurses, were moved to areas of similar expertise, but at a lower pay scale. He charged that Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government “does not believe that this community needs a full service hospital.â€? He also slammed Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MPP and MP Randy Hillier and Scott Reid respectively, since a January rally against the cuts in front of their joint Perth constituency office “didn’t seem to move either of them to do anything constructiveâ€? to fight the cuts. While Hillier accused the SOS group of “scaremongeringâ€? this past winter, Lundy said that projections put forward that show that “if we don’t sacrifice, all of the budget will be gobbled up by health care (spending),â€? were, themselves, “just so much scare tactics‌It is just so much manure.â€? He added that the province should do a better job of reversing tax breaks for corporations that do not need them in order to properly fund health care. “We could spend a lot of time debating economics,â€? said Fenik. “(But) from everyone I’ve talked to‌our hospital is not closing.â€?

Ontario Music Festival Finals. In 2011 he was the first Quinte area contestant to win the Open Guitar competition and just the second to win at the open level in any of the open competitions; a feat he repeated in 2012. For the past eight years he has studied with world-renowned guitar teacher, Eli Kassner, the mentor of successful Canadian guitarists such as Liona Boyd, Norbert Kraft and flamenco guitarist Jessie Cook. He is well use to a critical audience, whether it’s a master class with a prominent European guitar virtuoso, the educated ears of a Toronto Guitar Society audience, or a classroom of rock and

heavy metal kids. “Classical� refers to the style of playing the guitar, not necessarily to the type of music. James is a graduate of the music programme at the University of Toronto, majoring in composition. So it is no surprise to find that some of the world’s greatest composers feature in Saturday’s concert. There are the giants of the Baroque era, Vivaldi and Bach, twentieth century composers such as Britten, guitarist-composers Barrios and Dyens, and movie-score composer Hadjidakis, You can anticipate in this journey across continents as well as centuries, from Eu-

rope in the 1700’s to Liverpool, England in the 60’s. We know you will enjoy this celebration of guitar music: from Classical through to Folk, Jazz, and beyond. In addition to being treated to this talented musician, also performing that evening are the winners of our opening contest: John Maclean and Jovian Sound, two other local up and coming musicians who hail from Smiths Falls and Perth. John has been playing and composing music with the same acoustic guitar since he was 12 Jovian Sound used to be called “Co-ed� have been featured at the Stewart Park Festival. So come out and support these won-

derful Canadian musicians!! And don’t let the “I haven’t ever heard of them� thinking stop you – once upon a time, no one knew who Beethoven, Elvis or the Beatles were either – until someone heard them and passed on the word. Let that someone for these young artists be you! General admission: $10 for adults and $5 for students with ID. Cash at the door.

Easter Seals Camp Merrywood marks grand opening of hot pad June 23 EMC News – This summer, kids with physical disabilities at Easter Seals Camp Merrywood will have the opportunity to shoot hoops, slow dance and enjoy barbecue camp fare in Merrywood’s new outdoor facility donated by a group of Easter Seals parents, the Hot Pad. On Sunday, June 23, Camp Merrywood will celebrate its 65th anniversary by welcoming in the Hot Pad, along with an open house and the Merrywood/Perth Power Play. A few years ago, Easter Seals mom Yvette Serpellini and several other Easter Seals parents raised $102,000 through individual fundraising efforts. After recognizing the need for a multi-purpose outdoor space at Camp Merrywood, the group decided to donate their fund towards the design and build of the Hot Pad, named by Yvette’s daughter and Merrywood camper, Rebecca. “Every summer, Rebecca tries new activities, makes new friends and experiences a sense of accomplishment at Camp Merrywood – a unique experience for a child with physical disabilities,” says Serpellini. “The creation of the Hot Pad will enable kids to enjoy more activities at camp, contributing to the valuable experiences that Easter Seals camps provide.” The multi-use space includes a covered, concrete area where children with physical disabilities will have the opportunity to play wheelchair basketball, sledge hockey and other recreational activities as well as enjoy barbecues and dances. The unveiling of the Hot Pad will take place at 1:30 p.m. through an official ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Serpellini family. The event will also recognize a generous in-kind gift from Yvette’s husband, Angelo Serpellini, and his company, DCI Durabuilt Construction Inc., a $24,000 gift from the Bernard & Norton Wolf Family Foundation for the purchase of 8 basketball wheelchairs and a

$5,000 gift from the Perth and District Community Foundation for the purchase of two composting toilets at the site. “We are extremely grateful for the support and generosity of our donors, which has allowed us to build the Hot Pad at Camp Merrywood,” said Sandra Bellisario, vice president, development, Easter Seals Ontario. “The addition of this new multi-purpose space allows us to continue being industry leaders in providing specialized programs for children with physical disabilities through our two camps: Merrywood and Woodeden.” The celebration will also feature live broadcasting from local radio station Jack FM, a closing ceremony campfire at 4:30 p.m. and a camp open house. Built in 1948, Camp Merrywood sits on 30 acres between Smiths Falls and Perth in eastern Ontario on a breathtaking peninsula stretching out into Rideau Lake. The camp offers programs such as sailing, canoeing, kayaking, pontoon boat rides, swimming, fishing, archery, pottery, overnight out trips, arts and crafts, sports and games, an environment program and white-water rafting. Easter Seals began in 1922 as a vision to create a better life for children and youth with physical disabilities. Today, Easter Seals continues to offer programs and services to help these children achieve a greater level of acceptance and independence, such as financial assistance for mobility and communication devices, fully accessible summer camp and funding for other summer recreational programs. Easter Seals also provides access to information and resources, as well as public education and awareness. For more information or to donate, visit www.easterseals.org or www.eastersealscamps. org.

Gravity rules Beckwith Street during annual soapbox derby

EMC News - Gravity will take over Beckwith Street on Aug. 12, as the 2013 edition of the NAPA Auto Parts Gravity Grand Prix takes place, welcoming soap box derby racing back the Town of Smiths Falls. Race directors, Marshall Cubitt and Steve Wintle have been busy planning to welcome soap box derby racers from around the region and from across Ontario. A “Green Sport� where power for racing comes from gravity alone, cars will run side by side down Beckwith Street in what has become Eastern Ontario’s premier soap box derby event. The Gravity Grand Prix is the only Canadian Soap Box Racing Association sanctioned event in Eastern Ontario. It is also the only event sanctioned by the Canadian National Super Kids program, which is a derby racing program created for special needs children. Adding to the excitement is the addition of a All American Rally Series event, which will

feature racers from Ontario, Quebec and New York State, competing in a points competition where series points champions will earn an invitation to Akron Ohio as Regional Rally Champions. Stock, Super Stock and Masters class cars will tear up the pavement in the quest for top points honors that will be added to their totals for the series. CSBRA Championship points racers will also be part of the Grand Prix, making for some competitive and high profile racing. In the past the citizens of Smiths Falls have been shown their hospitality to all of the visiting derby families attending the event. This year those attending the event as spectators will be treated to the best racers on pavement. As always sponsors are welcome to contact the organizers. Volunteers are also a major part of hosting such an event and those wishing to be part of the event are asked to contact NAPA dealer Steve Wintle.

A long and winding road to Kingston for Ottawa cyclists By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC Sports – It is a long road that knows no turning – plenty of rolling hills on the way to Westport though. One may be forgiven for thinking that portions of Highway 43 and Richardson Side Road looked a bit like the Queensway on Friday rush-hour with dozens of groupings of cyclists from the Ottawa Bicycle Club bearing down, on their way to Last Duel Park for a pitstop before heading off to Kingston by way of Westport. They were taking part in the Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour to Kingston June 8 and 9. Cyclist Thierry Daboval left the Woodroffe campus of Algonquin College at 7:37 a.m. and sidled onto the grass on the banks of the Tay at about 9:40 a.m. He had a good speed, but he made sure that everyone ate his dust – as he ate the dust of everyone in front of him. “You feel like you are eating a bit of dirt,� he joked, his toothy white smile breaking up his dirt-flecked face, the result of two hours on drizzle-soaked back country roads. “It was more wet here than there (Ottawa). The bikes are a little muddy but that is the life of a bike rider.� Daboval was riding with five of his friends, some of whom work with him at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. “We are waiting for each other,� he said, before joking that if someone gets a flat tire, “you are on your own!� For some of the way, Daboval was in

the front, a harder position to be in since there is no slipstream from other riders in front of you to pull you along, and “you hide from the wind at the back,� of the pack. This was Daboval’s second Ottawato-Kingston cycle, which saw him and his friends stop in Kingston overnight, before returning home along the same route on Sunday morning, for a 360 km round-trip. Bananas and juice were in ample supply at the park, since bananas are “easy to digest,� explained Daboval’s friend and riding partner, Anne Rowan-

CrossFit Conexus opens in Smiths Falls EMC Business - CrossFit Conexus announces it has opened its doors! As the first CrossFit affiliation in Smiths Falls, CrossFit Conexus offers customized workouts for people who just want to be healthy or for those who strive to compete. CrossFit is a worldwide strength and conditioning fitness program. Whether you are coming off the couch or you are a professional athlete, CrossFit is scalable to all levels, making this the ideal fitness program for anyone regardless of age or experience. It is the fastest growing fitness program in the world and has evolved into a sporting event. (CrossFit Games). Every class is different in CrossFit. A class may consist of a variety of exercises including running, rowing, plyometrics, gymnastics, weight training, and Olympic lifting. CrossFit’s success in producing results is in preventing the fitness plateaus many of us face after months of training our bodies in the

same way. CrossFit prescribes functional movements which are movements you might use every day. For example, you use the same form deadlifting a barbell as you would in picking up an object from the ground. Movements are also multi-joint which means we work the entire body at one time instead of isolating muscle groups. Women are among the fastest growing participants in CrossFit. Classes are held daily at CrossFit Conexus and range from an Intro to CrossFit class to general CrossFit workouts of the day (WODs). A typical class is broken into theory and skill, warm up, WOD and cool down. CrossFit Conexus offers reduced rates for firefighters, military and police officers, couples, students and seniors. Since CrossFit was designed to train law enforcement, firefighters and military, we acknowledge their contribution to our safety with the reduced rate. Submitted by Darlene Maclachlan.

Race boat classes this year include Grand Prix, mid and small inboard hydroplanes, Jersey Skiffs, flat bottom racers, and a wide range of large and small outboards. Static displays will also be placed throughout the site for all spectators to get up close and chat with the owners and drivers.

– the identical canoe to the four being built on the site of the Rideau Ferry Yacht Club Conservation Area. The extra money allows organizers to add new attractions. Not only is this the only community event in Rideau Ferry, it’s the only regatta on the 202 km. historic Rideau waterway, a UNESCO World heritage site since 2007. The entire regatta is run by volunteers, all of whom appreciate that the event brings the community together. This year the regatta has organized a legacy project, one that encourages the young to make boating a passion. Regatta directors have issued a challenge to Rideau marinas; build a sea flea over the winter and spring and show them off on the water during the event. Marina owners have been given the option of providing their own materials or take material from John McLaughlin, owner of Rideau Ferry Harbour Marine, who will donate the boats to the regatta. So far, most marinas have decided to use their own material, allowing them to put their corporate stamp on the sea fleas, but they will still donate them to the regatta. They have all been provided with the same plans. It’s not certain yet what will be done with the hydroplanes, but talk about creating a new generation of racers, teens that are able to get their boating cards, is already underway. “Hey, why not use the old timers here to teach? Not out the question at all,� says Scott Cameron, the man responsible for bring the regatta back. As a result of this forward thinking, the recent book on the regatta by Valerie Hudson may have to be revised to include this legacy. That book will be on sale at the regatta. More like a carnival dunking of politicians with a well-placed throw of a baseball, another attraction will be a cardboard boat race. These sturdy vessels will be built by Algonquin College students in Perth, and manned by area politicians who accept the challenge. Who wouldn’t want to see their mayors or councilors take a good-natured dunking? Of course, they will be wearing life jackets and their trophies will likely be made of cardboard.

EMC Events - Power and safety on the water, whether the roar of a 3000-horsepower engine or the silence of a luxury water ski boat, it’s the dual theme of this year’s Rideau Ferry Regatta. On Aug. 17-18 the regatta will host a record-breaking boat, Miss Canada IV, which in 1950 broke the 200-mph speed record as well as the silent, all-electric Bruce 22, developed by former Olympian , Ian Bruce of Montreal. The classic and antique boat regatta, the fourth since it’s resurrection in 2007, promises to attract a sizeable crowd of participants, many from the U.S and even Australia, with some new features and the continuation of crowd-pleasers like the canoe-build challenge and toy boats kids can put together themselves and take home, free. Miss Canada IV, once collecting dust and rot in an Ingersoll museum has been fully restored by its new owner, Bobby Genovese, a Vancouver multimillionaire, at a cost close to $500,000. Described as “more of a bullet than a boat,� she’ll be on the water of Lower Rideau Lake for the weekend of the regatta. Powered by a 3,000-horsepower Rolls Royce engine, the 33-footer is scheduled to arrive on the Thursday before the regatta to be displayed below the water tower in Smiths Falls. A movie Harold and Lorna, will be featured at the site, with donations going to a town charity. The movie is a feature on the romantic history of the boat and the couple who built it in the 40s, Harold and Lorna Wilson of Ingersoll, Ont. On the Friday before the regatta, Miss Canada IV will be on display at the Crystal Palace in Perth. The fully-electric boat will demonstrate its ability with water skiers and will be pitted against a couple of antique woodies, Jeffrey boats from the 40s and 50s, as the Bruce is a fiberglass version of a Jeffrey. For the first time in its history, 1897 when the first one was held, the regatta has scored a major corporate sponsor, Recurrent Energy, which is establishing several solar farms in the area. In previous years, the regatta was run from money raised from advertising it its program, admission fees and a canoe raffle

Twilighters ‘think pink’ in summer-like conditions

EMC Sports - For the May 30 edition of the Thursday Night Men’s Twilight the weather couldn’t have been more different than the week before. In place of the arctic conditions was a midsummer night’s dream. And to top it all off, one of our favorite sponsors, Rob Roy’s Pub, was doling out prizes to the lucky patrons who came out to play. It was a pink ball scramble in which all fairway and green prizes were awarded to those who used the little crimson sphere to accomplish the particular feat. And, apart from the regular scramble scores, recognition was given to those groups who managed to keep the pink ball in play. There weren’t many. Dan Cyr’s team posted the low overall score in the A Division on the front side, while George Francis led his group to the best B Division tally. Kenny Campbell’s squad had the low pink ball score.

On the back side, Dave McKenney’s team won the A Division and Graham Merpaw’s troupe claimed the B Division honors. George Thomson’s merry men managed the low pink ball score. The Roosteraunt closest-to-the-pin prize went to Bob James for his tee shot on hole number 8, while Al Pilon took home the Burns Jewellers gift certificate for the best approach shot on hole number 5. The Town and Country Chrysler longest drives were pounded by Kenny Campbell and Tony Reuvers on holes 6 and 17, and the James Furniture longest putts were drained by Eric Maitland and Matt Wallace on holes 3 and 10. Finally, Roger Cooke was the lucky 50/50 prize winner, and Jeff Hinton took home the bottle of Rocky’s Rickshaw Ricochet. A big thanks goes out to Rob Roy’s Pub for a great prize table and to all

EMC Sports - Participants in this month’s Smiths Falls Classic triathlon, Canada’s oldest running triathlon, will be swimming, running and biking with the evening wind at their backs following a decision to move the annual event to a 6 p.m. start time. The Saturday, June 22 event is traditionally held on Sunday mornings, but Ian Fraser, Somersault race director, said there has always been interest in offering the historic race in the evenings. “I think it should be really fun,” Fraser said, adding the change could have other ripple effects in the number of participants who come out. “We’re looking to get those numbers up.” All events will start and finish at the same location as in past years. Swimmers get into the water at the Comfort Inn and exit the water across the way at the Lower Reach Park trails. Participants can drop off their registrations to Sport X on Chambers Street in Smiths Falls or complete it online. Online registration ends June 16, but not to fear as last minute registrants are welcome the day of the event. Simply go to the Comfort Inn (Centre Street) between 3 and 5 p.m. to fill out your paper work. The annual sporting event offers a variety of races for every skill level from youth to professional. This year, the race event has selected the Heart & Stroke Foundation as their charity of choice. “In some way we always try to give back,” Fraser said. The Heart & Stroke Foundation hits close to home for the Somersault family as the owner has experienced stroke in the last few years. The Heart & Stroke Foundation helps Canadians live longer by promoting healthy living by eating well and staying active throughout life,

Wheelers Pancake House and Sugar Camp CHEO fundraiser a smashing success EMC News – The evening of Saturday, June 8 saw a packed house at Wheelers Pancake House and Sugar Camp near McDonald’s Corners for the Wheelers Maple Kitchen Party. Coinciding with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Telethon weekend all funds raised during the evening went to benefit the CHEO Foundation. The Kitchen Party raised a total of $5,900 through ticket sales, a silent auction, and individual donations. The great services that are provided to our children and youth at CHEO was highlighted by former area resident Dennis Jackson who shared some of his family’s experiences at the hospital. Along with the funds raised at Wheelers, the 30th annual CHEO telethon raised a total of $6.8 million over the weekend. The Kitchen Party featured toe tapping family entertainment and plenty of food with Lanark County maple syrup. The Wheeler family, along with volunteers Leaha Adam and Kate Hall, served an all-youcan-eat maple feast including pancakes, French toast, maple sausages, and maple baked beans topped off with Angela Wheeler’s scrumptious homemade maple sugar pie and other maple themed desserts. Joel Smith and Josh Roy, Vernon and Judy Wheeler’s son-in-laws, provided the first set of music. This was the lads’ first public performance after years of playing at family birthdays. Referring to themselves as The Sonin-Laws, they played covers ranging from Paul Brandt to the ‘Green Acres’ theme song. The Roberts Family of Lanark finished off the evening with their own brand of kitchen music with moving ballads, Irish jigs, and hymns that brought the whole house to their feet. The audience was treated to an intimate glimpse into the family’s kitchen with their energetic and soulful songs featuring outstanding harmonies. Three of the ten members of the Roberts Family on stage were in-

The Wheeler and Roberts families donated 100 per cent of the ticket cost for the meal and entertainment. Blackwood Originals, Accent Group, Beryl Stott, and Tim Wheeler Blacksmithing donated many silent auction items and door prizes furthering the donation total. Tracy Smith (Vernon and Judy’s daughter) commented “the community response to this fundraiser was just astounding” and that “we are so lucky to have a hospital of such great quality as CHEO in our area.” With all the tickets completely sold out for the event, the Wheelers Maple Kitchen Party may just become an annual tradition.

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

I have encountered people who shamelessly allow their dogs to foul sidewalks right in front of me. Depending on circumstances I have given a few such offenders a blast. Usually it is best to keep your thoughts to yourself however, partly for personal security reasons but mainly because someone like that simply doesn’t get it. There are few cures available for stupidity! Then there are those who belong to what I call “the sneaky dog fouling set.� Those who appear set to do the right thing and clear up after their pet. Instead they wait until passersby are at a safe distance and then callously skulk off, leaving the excrement where it fell. Finally there are the aforementioned folks who simply open the door and let their dog or cat range through the neighbourhood to do what comes natural. We have some on our block actually. Disgraceful behaviour! In my capacity as chairman of the local Sister City Committee I regularly read the online edition of the Strathearn Herald newspaper, based in Perth, Scotland. It is one way to keep up with happenings in Comrie, the village which has been twinned with Carleton Place since 1992. The communities marked the 20th anniversary of their linkage last August. My wife and I have visited Comrie on five occasions, including last summer. Comrie red flag One of the benefits of twinning (or Sister Cities as we call

it here) is that we can learn lessons from one another. With reference to the issue I am writing about this week, Comrie residents have taken a step which I feel we can all learn and hopefully benefit from in our own communities. A recent story in the Herald says “more and more Comrie residents� are taking up what appears to me to be a very innovative “red flag initiative.� According to the newspaper the program is “a bid to shame dog walkers who fail to pick up their animal’s mess.� The initiative began in an estate (subdivision) called Aros Field. Residents have quite literally been raising the red flag on those who persistently let dogs foul on grass verges outside their homes. The newspaper story says, “They (home owners) have been sticking red flags in the muck in an attempt to highlight the mess dogs are leaving behind and encouraging owners to clear up after them.� An Aros Field resident named Malcolm Allan started the campaign after hearing how red flags had “been successfully used as a deterrent elsewhere.� Now other Comrie folk have decided to give the idea a try. Members of the Comrie Community Orchard Group are taking flags with them when they go to Cultybraggan Camp to work on the orchard. Cultybraggan is a former World War II prisoner of war camp which has been purchased by the community and is being developed for multiple uses. Orchard group member Emma Margrett says, “We’ve been thinking about doing something like this for a while up at Cultybraggan because you get a lot of dog mess and

EMC Lifestyle – One of my pet peeves is dog owners who allow their animals to foul public areas and private property while on their daily walks. I think it is absolutely shameful that some people blatantly ignore the so-called “stoop and scoop� bylaws which exist in most communities. In the process a handful of uncaring individuals give all pet owners a bad name. It is mainly dog owners who are involved. But to be fair I have to point out that some cat owners are also guilty of turning their pets loose. Inevitably they find somewhere to do their business. On occasion the mess is found on lawns and in neighbours’ flower borders. We have a regular problem involving wandering cats in our own subdivision so I know from whence I speak! My main beef continues to be dog owners who allow their pets to defecate on public sidewalks, in parks and on private property, often right in their own neighbourhoods. As regular readers know I am a daily walker. Admittedly watching passing dogs pee on trees and sign posts doesn’t thrill me. But the revolting sight of animal excrement on downtown sidewalks is enough to turn your stomach at times. At night people unwittingly wander into it and – well, you know the rest! Sadly this is a daily problem in Carleton Place where we live. Speaking to family, colleagues and acquaintances the same issue happens in their communities as well. It’s a universal issue in fact! In Carleton Place town staff does a commendable job of clearing up the mess. But it is impossible to stay ahead of the problem when it happens at any time of day or night.

Thinly sliced meat is key to stir-frying oriental-type dishes. If your meat is partially frozen, it is easier to slice into thin strips.

Twin community raises red flag on dog fouling

Know the Signs of Lyme Disease ` When hiking or walking in natural areas, wear light coloured clothing, longsleeved shirts, long pants, socks and shoes. Tuck your pants into your socks.

` Lyme disease is caused by the bite of a black legged tick that is infected with the bacteria. It needs to be attached for 24-36 hours before it is able to transfer the bacteria.

` Insect repellants with DEET also provide protection. Follow directions for use.

` Other symptoms of the disease may include fever, headache, fatigue or muscle and joint pain. These may disappear, but if left untreated, Lyme disease can progress and affect the nervous system, joints and the heart.

` Check yourself for ticks (include armpits, groin, scalp and have someone else check the back of your body). ` Protect your pet; contact your vet.

Symptoms: ` A red rash may appear days to weeks after a bite. A bulls-eye rash may be present around the bite.

Consult your doctor if you have been bitten by a tick and are developing the symptoms of Lyme Disease.

REGIONAL NEWS From page 42

it’s horrible when you are working away and then you put your hand or foot in it. “Plus there are children playing up there and you don’t want kids to step in it either.” Since an initial newspaper story in early April other residents are gradually taking up the red flag idea on their own streets across the historic village in Scotland’s picturesque Highlands. The campaign pleases Comrie Community Council member Sandra McRitchie. I know Sandra as a result of the twinning initiative and we communicate occasionally by email on various matters. I know she is dedicated to the general

well-being of her community. She told the Herald she is regularly contacted by people complaining about dog fouling. “Dog mess has been a problem in the village for a long time now and I am overjoyed to see people tackling it in this way. It’s a great idea and shows how the community here in Comrie can look after itself and is willing to step up to the plate and take action when needed,” McRitchie told the newspaper. “I hope the red flags help highlight the problem caused by a minority of dog walkers who don’t pick up after their dogs and encourage them to bag the mess, rather than leave it lying around.”

OPP not soliciting funds for its Community Bear Program EMC News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has received a number of inquiries from Ontario residents asking about police organizations calling to solicit funds for teddy bears. While many OPP officers are involved in worthy charities on their own time, the OPP is advising the public that it does not solicit funds from members of the public for its Community Bear Program or any other OPP program.

Sandra and the residents of Carleton Place’s twin community of Comrie have made my point for me with this very interesting initiative. I would encourage community groups and individuals in our district to consider the same kind of affirmative action. No, it won’t solve the problem. But it will at least highlight the situation and may even act as a deterrent for those who regularly allow their dogs to mess in exactly the same place every day. Call it one small step in the right direction. Thank you, Comrie! If you have any comments or questions for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Diesel particular particulates for some new diesel engines EMC Lifestyle - One of my favourite automotive writers, Murray Jackson (www.thecrosswordguy.com , passed along a gem regarding some new diesel engine emissions technology and I couldn’t resist sharing it with everyone here. Murray and I are both confessed fans of diesel engines for passenger cars and light trucks and more and more models from more and more manufacturers are coming to showrooms wearing a diesel badge. One of the reasons for the surge in diesels is that automakers have come up with some interesting tricks to improve emissions to meet ever more stringent standards. Some of these systems involve injecting a special fluid into the exhaust and some utilize a particulate filter built into the exhaust system and some use other methods. It’s these diesel particulate filters (DPF’s) and their method of operation that are taking some consumers by surprise and posing risks to engine longevity. In normal driving or even idling, particulate filters will eventually become clogged restricting exhaust flow and lowering available engine power and eventually causing a stall-out requiring replacement or cleaning of the DPF. These units can be very expensive and would clog far too often to make replacement a viable option. So the engineers came up with a way of using diesel fuel and the engine itself as a cleaner for these exhaust scrubbers. With some vehicles a separate fuel line injects raw diesel directly into the exhaust DPF where it’s ignited and burns off the accumulated soot. As you might suspect, during these controlled ‘cleanings’ the tailpipe emissions will be off the scale in terms of toxicity, but as emission rules look to reduce the overall carbon footprint of a vehicle, a temporary blast of raw exhaust every now and then is accepted by the regulators. Some engineers have forgone the expense of a special diesel fuel injection system for the exhaust and have opted for the running-rich method of DPF cleaning. On these vehicles, when sensors in the exhaust stream detect a major pressure differential caused by a DPF that needs cleaning, the engine controller simply injects more fuel into the engine than it can burn and the uncombusted fuel flows out of the engine through the exhaust system to the DPF where it is burned to remove the soot. Interestingly enough, on some heavy commercial vehicles that use this sys-

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

tem, the DPF’s can be removed and cleaned with specialized shop equipment. Engine companies like Cummins have these resources in their larger service centres and they treat the removed ash and soot as a hazardous waste. Several problems have arisen from this new technology. In order for the DPF cleaning to be completed the vehicle has to be operating at highway speeds and during the process the engine’s fuel economy will take a decided turn for the worse. On models that have instrument displays that indicate the progress of this action, drivers have reported it taking several hours of highway running before the ‘regeneration complete’ message appears. For vehicles that don’t necessarily see regular highway driving, the cleaning process can dump unburned diesel fuel into the engine’s oil pan, thus diluting the oil and possibly leading to major internal damage. Some automakers such as Mazda that have been selling their CX5’s in the UK and Australia equipped with DPFs, instruct their customers to check engine oil on a very regular basis (every 1,000 km or monthly) to look for too much oil on the dipstick as well as not enough. They’ve even added an ‘over-full’ mark to let drivers know when the oil must be changed due to diesel fuel dilution. Murray and I will both keep an eye out as smaller passenger cars with DPFs will soon start crossing our borders. If anyone currently driving a truck equipped with a DPF has any comment or opinion, please send it along. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@ perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@ hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

Perhaps you’re a small business person, a member of a local church or citizen’s group, a senior or youth citizen. Interested in being involved in community action? Help create an even healthier, inclusive community by attending one of the Mills Community Support’s action-oriented “town-halls” with renowned community developer, Bruce Anderson.

There are two ways to register: you can go to www.themills.on.ca and follow the links, or simply call 613256-1031.

There is a small charge for nonmembers that can be applied to your membership fee if you decide to join at the meeting. There is plenty of variety to keep you interested in the many aspects of our meetings, flower shows, monthly ‘photo contests, interesting guest speakers, door prizes and refreshments to name a few. Hope Bell won the draw for the book by Ed Lawrence for bringing in a new member this year. Our guest speaker this month is Suzanne Patry owner of Whitehouse Perennials. Suzanne will give us her top picks for your flower garden. Anyone who has not been to their nursery near Almonte should consider a trip or sign up for the bus tour with us on Saturday, July 20. See Jeanne to sign up and ask for details about departure and return. The website for Whitehouse Perennials is www.whitehouseperennials.com.

Please bring your ‘photos to share with the group and participate in our people’s choice contest. We wish to thank Aline Hicks for organizing the plant sale on May 11. She surpassed all previous amounts raised. Thank you also to all who assisted at the sale and to our faithful patrons. A special thank you to those who donated plants, some by the truckload. There are too many to name but we are very grateful to all for making the sale a success. There is a People’s Choice Fun Flower Show in the design class for June.

The Garden of the Month sign is currently on display so take a drive by (a walk is even better) to see what can be done to create a smaller garden. Shirley will also receive a gift certificate courtesy of D & S Stone Supply. The members’ only garden tour is being rescheduled to July 13. If anyone wishes to carpool, we are meeting at the Walmart parking lot at 9 a.m. There will be a potluck of finger foods at our last stop so think of something you would like to bring.

EMC lifestyle - Walking into the first of Bob Mitchell’s several sprawling greenhouses, the sweet, earthy smell of ripening tomatoes takes over your senses. For a brief moment, it’s just you and the fruit. You’re filled with a sense of hominess, of nostalgia for your grandmother, or the proud memory of the first vegetable you ever nurtured. When you come back to reality, you start to look around and you can hardly believe your eyes. Row upon row of leafy tomato plants climb toward the soft, filtered light coming in from above. The greenhouse seems to stretch on forever. Little technology gets in the way of nature’s beauty; the stems grow from plasticsheathed blocks of crushed coconut in raised troughs and are clipped to small rods above. Small pipes wind along the floor, masked by green tangles of sagging vines. Every so often a bumblebee lazes by, off to pollinate another plant or return to one of the hives placed throughout the greenhouse. Mitchell, the owner and founder of SunTech Greenhouses, on Doyle Road south of Manotick, somehow fits

THE EMC - 50 - Thursday, June 13, 2013

into the greenhouse ecosystem, despite a brusque manner and a penchant for loud exclamations. The lifelong farmer moved to a dairy and cash crop farm south of Kenmore when he was six, which he farmed with his family until 1998. And then he entered a greenhouse for the first time in his life. “The smell, that was what hooked me,” he said. From that visit in September 1998, it took 11 months for Mitchell to buy the Doyle Road property, set up a greenhouse that covers a hectare, and plant 22,000 beefsteak tomato plants. “Just a starter kit,” Mitchell laughed. Today, the farm has 1.6 hectares of greenhouse facilities and produces 11 different commercial products. That includes several tomato varieties as well as eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and green beans. NATURE’S WAY

While SunTech certainly doesn’t profess to be organic or pesticide free, it makes use of what nature has to offer. A common greenhouse pest is the white fly, a tiny white bug that can multiply into the billions. As they drink the juices from the plants, they

excrete everywhere – and that can prevent the plants from getting the sunlight they need. But instead of spraying plants with chemicals, Mitchell brings in 40,000 encarsia formosa, a tiny parasitic wasp that lays its eggs in white fly eggs – essentially stopping the reproduction cycle. “You don’t pay them by the hour and they don’t miss,” Mitchell said. Bumblebees are another important part of the greenhouse ecosystem. Brought in from Windsor, Ont., Mitchell’s bees are relied upon to pollinate the tomatoes. The number of bees loose in the greenhouse directly correlates to the number of open flowers, Mitchell said. There are usually two or three bee stings a year, he said, but as the chief bee handler he has managed to escape a sting for nearly 14 years. Of course, the whole point of a greenhouse is to get around Mother Nature’s whims, and SunTech employs a complex computer system to monitor the indoor and outdoor temperatures and adjust the roof vents accordingly. The average daily temperature inside is about 19 degrees, Mitchell said, and they can harvest about 10 months of the year.

Florida, Costa Rica and Nicaragua are destinations for zip line enthusiasts. But you won’t have to travel that far for exhilarating zip line experiences, which are growing in popularity in North America. Ownership of Logos Land Resort, just outside Cobden, is hoping a signiďŹ cant investment in its new three-leg, zip line course will bring smiles and goose bumps to many more of its customers in coming years. Challenges Unlimited Inc. is completing construction and installation of a parallel zip line course over Astrolabe Lake this month. The course warms up nicely, with the ďŹ rst zip carrying visitors 201 metres across a small bay. Zip No. 2 runs 343 metres across the middle of the lake, before the ďŹ nal 401-metre leg returns buckled-in riders back above the water. The total ride is 3,100 feet, or almost one kilometre, at speeds of up to 35 km/h, usually six metres above the water, but sometimes closer to 25. Logos Land owner Jerrold Paxton’s business partner, Kevin Cahill, died last December, but not the dream to continue to improve on what Logos Land offers its customers. Facilities already in place include the water park, with its slide, splash pad, grill house, mini-golf, animal petting farm, beach and giant lake trampolines. There are also timeshare villas, motel suites, 90 recreational vehicle (RV) park and camp sites, rental RVs, 100 wilderness camp sites for trailers or tenters, and the neighbouring Oaks of Cobden golf course.

“We have four goals in mind,â€? says Logos Land director of marketing and sales Fred Glover. The ďŹ rst goal is to offer something, like the zip line course, that caters more to older youngsters. “We’ve made investments in recent years for the little kids, like the petting farm and the splash pad,â€? says Glover. “But for older kids, as families grow up, you don’t want them to hit the boredom curve.â€? The same philosophy applies to younger adults. The connection of the zip line for these potential customers also happens to coincide with the ideal weight for zip line passengers. The weight allowance runs from 75 to about 275 pounds. The second marketing goal, says Glover, is to expand Logos Land’s season, which for the longest time has been concentrated in July and August. “The zip line can be used year-round, but more practically it will certainly run in the summer, as well as in the spring and fall.â€? Logos Land has already experienced positives vibes about the new course. For example, response at the recent Ottawa RV Show, which attracts more than 20,000 visitors, was extremely positive. “Our big posters stopped them,â€? says Glover. “It surprised us, especially the positive verbal feedback from 40-, 50- and 60-year-olds. But we’ll see for sure this summer.â€? Glover acknowledges there’s another zip line, at Chutes Coulonge, while pointing out that Logos Land Resort aspires to become a growing part of multi-activity tourist packages in the area, thus Logos Land’s third

marketing goal. For example, there’s no reason tourists can’t zip over Astrolabe Lake, play golf rounds at a variety of courses in the area, see the Bonnechere Caves, zip some more in Chutes Coulonge and try some whitewater rafting or kayaking. Unlike Logos Land, Chutes Coulonge offers two zip lines of 100 and 260 metres over whitewater rapids and a shorter nine-zip series. As Glover says, “Every zip line you see is different.â€?

Five simple tips before hitting the road EMC lifestyle - Summer getaways are common indulgence in Canada and for the more than four-in-ďŹ ve of us who own, lease or ďŹ nance a vehicle, exploring the Great White North often begins with the push of a pedal. Whether your plans include cross-country road trips or a weekend exodus to the cottage, here are a few tips to keep your vehicle looking and running its best on the open road: s +EEP IT CLEAN 3TARTING A road trip with a clean car is a must, but be eco-responsible. Always look for products that are designed to be tough on grease, bugs, mud and carbon deposits, while still being safe for the environment. s #HECK YOUR WHEELS -AKE sure tires are road-trip ready. For better handling and mileage, swap winter tires for summer ones, or all-season types. Check the pressure of the tires before you take off by consulting the owner’s manual or on the side of the tire. Properly inated tires improve grip on the road and

save money at the pump. s 4OP UP mUIDS .O ONE wants to be stuck on the side of the highway. Having proper levels of windshield washer uid, engine oil, radiator coolant and brake uid can make or break a road trip. Check the owner’s manual for the recommended uid levels. Remember overďŹ lling your uids can do just as much damage as not ďŹ lling up enough. s 'ET RID OF THE SALT !S THE temperatures rise, so does the rate of corrosion and after a full-season of battling snow and slush, the chemicals used to clear roads can eat away at a car’s body. +EEP YOUR CAR LOOKING AND running its best by getting a professional rust protection at least once a year. s 4AKE IT TO AN EXPERT 3TAY safe and avoid unforeseen expenses by following your car’s recommended maintenance schedule. See a professional to give you the green light for long-distance travel. )34/#+0(/4/ #/- .%534/#+)-!'%3

THE EMC - 55 - Thursday, June 13, 2013

It’s hard to find that perfect listening place EMC Lifestyle – As stated in my last article, I love to listen to music, preferably live but also recorded as a second choice. And I do mean listen. I don’t often talk to others when a live musician is playing especially. Nor do I pay attention to screens (be it TV or personal devices) when someone is playing their heart and soul out to me. As most know who read my columns, I regularly attend O’Reilly’s Ale House in Perth on Tuesday evenings as Brock Zeman and Blair Michael Hogan strut their stuff and I love taking it all in. Out of respect to the performer, if I want to chat I go to the back of the bar. You get an outstanding songwriter/musician in Brock and the sweetest licks in the world from Blair. But this time of year, I make my yearly apologies to them for not attending until later because it’s hockey playoff time and I also love watching hockey. With several games on every night, I go elsewhere to watch hockey so as not to give musicians only partial attention due to some screen vying for my attention with yet another dramatic goal. So, when the game is done, I’m off to hopefully catch a bit of my live music fix, a necessity for me. There are many listening spaces that I enjoy and they’re not all public spaces. Through a mutual friend, I met a local gentleman who shares my enjoyment of music and I’ve been visiting weekly for many years. He’d always have his stereo on in the background as we’d chat about whatever. He has a cathedral ceiling where we sit and he had speakers above his kitchen cabinets as well as another set at the other end of the room on the floor. We noticed the separation on some recordings that seemed to fill the space better than others and both had remarked on it. A few weeks ago though, I noticed a far more full sound even at a low volume in our usual space and commented. My friend was pleased to see I’d noticed they’d gotten a new receiver, a subwoofer for bass and mounted new speakers on the far wall, replacing the floor models. The difference was remarkable and I must say it has become one of my favourite places to hear recorded music. The distinctive breadth of the sound from its bottom end through the middle and up to the swirling highs seem to catch my aged ears just right. You know you’re with true friends when you can just sit there and listen…no chatter necessary. I’ve written before of another of my favourite listening spaces and this past weekend was able to revisit our camp and enjoy my outdoor speakers, with their 40-foot separation while enjoying the first campfires of the season. I keep my music volume there low enough to allow Mother Nature’s natural “soundtrack” to blend with the recordings. Tree frogs, crickets, loons, owls all join in to create a beautiful, unique blend with whatever I have on. It’s interesting also to compare older recordings’ primitive separations of the right and left channels to the more refined blends newer technology avails. I spend many an hour listening fireside during the warmer months and through the cold winters dream of getting back there. There aren’t many “listening rooms” out there. By that I mean

somewhere where bar chatter doesn’t take away from being able to hear and appreciate the lyrics for singer/ songwriter presentations, which tend to be my usual genre. The Cameron House on Queen West in Toronto is one of those unique establishments that lend themselves to listening as does Hugh’s Room, also in Toronto. The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill in Kemptville prides itself in being a good place to listen (and the food is wonderfully creative and local). I also enjoy Fiddlehead’s atrium in Perth for Sunday Brunch Jazz hosted by Clay Young. I’m always amazed this room isn’t packed to overflowing. I’ve got to admit though, I’ve become spoiled while hosting our house concerts for the past 10 years. Until one experiences it, having someone play live in your living room for friends and family who are quiet, hanging on every word the performer offers, one might not understand why this is still my favourite. That intimacy is infectious and also noticeable on how most musicians rise to the occasion, offering that much more in stories and song, knowing they have an attentive, appreciative audience. I am gratified hearing someone rave about their first experience. We’ve recently moved our house concerts to a larger venue to avail more attending and my body is grateful for not having to move furniture any longer but I do miss the more intimate space of our living room. Being able to allow more people to experience musicians they would rarely be able to see locally and hear the appreciative comments following is a trade off I’m willing to accept. Time to sign off as I have to head out and will enjoy again another favourite listening room, my car. I can listen at any volume I want, utilize the knobs to bring up my preferred listening sound equalization for any music I choose and drive for miles. Now go enjoy your day, hopefully listening somewhere to some of your favourites. Upcoming events July 19, 20, 21: Perth’s Stewart Park Festival. More on this later but go to www.stewartparkfestival.com for more details. Support live music everywhere.

Fit Minds Cognitive Health Products Inc. Fit Minds Cognitive Health Products Inc. is a Canadian company providing professional and family caregivers with tools and resources to maintain and improve the brain health of individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The Fit Minds™ products and programs focus on cognitive stimulation and interaction as a preferred method to promote brain health. Over thirty years of brain research has shown us that brains can continue to learn, grow and change throughout the

life span of the individual. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) ACTIVE study done with almost 3000 individuals over the age of 65 showed that brain training has a positive impact on information processing, memory and the ability to focus. There have been many other studies showing that cognitive exercise can enhance brain fitness in both the healthy brain and the brain under attack by diseases like Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. In particular, Dr. Aimee Specter of the University College of London in the United King-

dom has shown that cognitive exercise can be as effective as dementia drugs in the treatment of individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Applying this neuroscience research to the problem of cognitive decline, Fit Minds Inc. has created the unique, patent-pending InterAct ™ Program. The InterAct™ Program contains a comprehensive brain workout organized around five areas of cognition: Language and Music, Visual/Spatial Orientation, Memory, Critical Thinking and Computation. Each session

plan contains exercises and activities in each of the five areas of cognition to provide enjoyable interaction that engages and challenges each individual. The InterAct™ Program can be used in a one-on-one setting or with a small group. Most sessions last between 45 minutes to an hour and can be tailored to many different levels of ability. The InterAct™ Program is also great as a volunteer or family resource when visiting with their loved one. Fit Minds Inc. has also developed the Family Caregiver program which

trains family members to use the InterAct™ Program to support and maintain the brain health of their loved ones. As well, we have focused the Family Caregiver program on supporting and maintaining the relationship between the care-provider and the care-receiver. We believe that while dementia changes family relationships, it shouldn’t end them. For more information about any of our products and programs please visit www.myfitminds.com or send an email to info@fitminds.ca
